Interessante Einblicke, schön bebildert, teils etwas US zentrisch
Interessante Einblicke und gute Erklärung zu unterschiedlichen Ingineursthemen. Das Buch ist natürlich wg. dem US Autor auch stark eingefärbt damit wie Dinge dort gebaut werden. Vieles ist zwar global allgemeingültig, im spezfiischen (etwa Stromversorgung von Stadtvierteln) aber dann doch schon unterschiedlich. Für den grundsätzlichen zusammenhang aber irrelevant und die Bebilderung ist sehr schön gemacht.

Quality is good - Great educational content
I know most of it and I follow the channel. The books is very well made but I think the primary audience is children to get invested in engineering and people who somehow haven't had the chance to know some of the basics of how the world works. So, this would be a great catchup because the explanations are simple but very good.
