engines of our ingenuity |
Over 1500
transcripts of brief radio broadcasts by John H. Lienhard, coupled
with a simple numerical list, a search engine, keyword search tool,
material for the classroom, information about the broadcasts, and
instructions for carrying the program free of charge. The transcripts
are brief and pithy, all of them about human inventiveness,
engineering history, and the essence of technology. A million people
listen to the broadcasts each week, so there's a fascinated following.
There's also a book, described here as well, titled "The Engines
of Our Ingenuity: An Engineer Looks at Technology". This is
fascinating stuff to dabble in, read at random, or plunder
systematically for educational or interest's sake. Frank, informative,
challenging, amusing and entertaining all at once, these transcripts
are great tools for teaching, challenging, researching.
