    About this ebook

    It is progress that guarantees existence.
    Without engineering mankind would be an already extinguished species.
    The American writer James Albert Michener wrote: “ Scientists dream about doing great things. Engineers do them”.

    It is progress that guarantees existence. Without engineering mankind would be an already extinguished species.
    The American writer James Albert Michener wrote: “ Scientists dream about doing great things. Engineers do them”.
    Between mathematics, physics, chemistry, technique and technology, from Archimedes of Syracuse to Samantha Cristoforetti, from Leonardo da Vinci to Larry Page, an extraordinary story of innovations and achievements. Nothing of what’s built nowadays by men, in any part of the world and space, would have been possible if there were no engineers.
    Therefore this praise is meant as a homage to the most beautiful job in the world and to the professionals that every day practice it, amongst countless difficulties but with awareness and pride.
