Structures: Or Why Things Don't Fall Downby Anonymous
Reader Rating:
See Detailed Ratings
June 17, 2006: This book is nearly thirty years old but still relevant. It's not just about mechanical structures- there is a tremendous amount of information about why humans don't fall down and the mechanical properties of humans that allow us to survive. This book changes the way you look at the world.
