Exactly: How Precision Engineers Created the Modern World
by Simon Winchester
A really fascinating tour of the history of engineering from the perspective of ever-increasing precision in measurement and manufacturing.
If that sounds like it might be dull to non-engineers, be prepared for a welcome surprise. Through personal anecdotes, philosophical musings, profiles of eccentrics, tales of success and equally of calamity, Simon Winchester really opens up this history and makes it accessible and engaging.
