Reviews
""A wonderful and comprehensive collection of well written articles to inform the reader about sustainable engineering and also to educate about practice and promise of engineering. A unique characteristic and strength of this book is the emphasis on critiques of engineering, rather than on ethics of engineering. The book will be an invaluable learning resource to all engineering students in order to become critically aware of how their technical work will not only preserve but also improve the quality of life of society."" ~Dr. Ignatios Vakalis, California Polytechnic State University ""[Ethics, Politics, and Whistleblowing in Engineering] will be a valuable resource both for engineers looking to expand their ethical horizon as well as scholars of engineering ethics, engineering studies, and engineering and policy."" ~Dr. Joseph Herkert, North Carolina State University
