About this book

Engineering and the Mind's Eye by Ferguson, Eugene S.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780262061476.

In this expanded version of his famous essay "The Minds Eye: Nonverbal Thought in Technology" ( Science , 1977), historian of technology Ferguson explores the process of engineering design, arguing that, despite modern technical advances, good engineering is still as much a matter of intuition and nonverbal thinking as of equations and computation.
