Practically Speaking is a book of quotations on engineering, technology and architecture. It brings together for the first time in one easily accessible form over 1100 quotes especially illuminating and pertinent to these disciplines. Here you will find quotations from the most famous to the unknown. Some are profound, some are witty, some are wise but none are frivolous. The extensive author and subject indexes provide you with the perfect tool for locating quotations for practical use or entertainment. This book can be read for pleasure or used as a handy reference by student and professional engineers and the wider public interested in who has said what on engineering, technology and architecture.
