The rush of technology in the twentieth century has brought more advances than the eleventh through nineteenth combined. Automobiles and aircraft, television and radio, computers and global communications, medical imaging, and the leap of human beyond earth's atmosphere all were born from the creative spark and labor of scientists and engineers. In Engineering Tomorrow, selected experts answer these questions and more as they visualize the technologies of the next century. Giants such as Nobel Prize winner Arno Penzias, Internet co-inventor Vinton Cerf, and Robert W. Lucky, the "engineer's engineer," join fifty other world renowned experts to present a status report on technology and engineering and its vast potential for human society in the next century. This richly illustrated book contains over 150 full color photos and drawings. @By: Janie Fouke
