This book appears to be an ambitious project. Not only does the author propose a `history of engineering and structural design' from prehistory to present time (2000, p. 5), but he also seeks to contribute to a comprehensive and critical analysis about the way in which engineering and the innovation process have developed all along this time and in different parts of the world. This is a real challenge, to which Matthew Wells successfully responds, due to his comprehensive reading and to his methodological approach. - Elisabeth Campagnac, Construction Management and Economics, July 2012
