Description:
From Stonehenge to microchips, discover the one simple method used to engineer the world as we know it-now in paperback!
"This book unravels the mysteries behind humanity's greatest masterpieces." - Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again
Discover the secret method used to build the world...
For millennia, humans have used one simple method to solve problems. Whether it's planting crops, building skyscrapers, developing photographs, or designing the first microchip, all creators follow the same steps to engineer progress. But this powerful method, the "engineering method", is an all but hidden process that few of us have heard of-let alone understand-but that influences every aspect of our lives.
Bill Hammack, a Carl Sagan award-winning professor of engineering and viral "The Engineer Guy" on Youtube, has a lifelong passion for the things we make, and how we make them. Now, for the first time, he reveals the invisible method behind every invention and takes us on a whirlwind tour of how humans built the world we know today. From the grand stone arches of medieval cathedrals to the mundane modern soda can, Hammack explains the golden rule of thumb that underlies every new building technique, every technological advancement, and every creative solution that leads us one step closer to a better, more functional world. Spanning centuries and cultures, Hammack offers a fascinating perspective on how humans engineer solutions in a world full of problems.
Perfect for readers of Adam Grant and Simon Winchester, The Things We Make is a captivating exam

Good buy.
Color: Black
Comes with exactly what I wanted for a knife block not all the extras that I dont need or want and doesn't take up very much room in my counter. They dont feel bulky in your hand

decent deal
Color: Brown
As others have already noted, there are very small defects here and there with the product but nothing that's a big deal. The knives are sharp and solid. Overall, it's a very good deal for some very good knives.
It's an attractive-looking set too.

Oh yes!!!
Color: Brown
Very satisfied with the purchase of these amazing knives. The price was good. I didn't want a lot of knifes. These are comfortable to hold and cut beautifully. The knife holder is just the right size for a small counter. I like the look of the design of the block holder.

Visually appealing without sacrificing durability
Size: 14 Pcs, Color: Pink & White
These are a very good quality for the price, easy to clean, and pretty to look at! I appreciate the kitchen scissors added into the block, and they're very sharp. I'm very satisfied with both the appearance and quality of this knife set!
