The entries reflect decades of reading, writing, talking and thinking about engineers and engineering, and range from brief essays to lists of great engineering achievements. This work is organized alphabetically and more like a dictionary than an encyclopedia. It is not intended to be read from first page to last, but rather to be dipped into, here and there, as the mood strikes the reader. In time, it is hoped, this book should become the source to which readers go first when they encounter a vague or obscure reference to the softer side of engineering. 606 $aEngineering$xPhilosophy$vMiscellanea 606 $aTechnology$xPhilosophy$vMiscellanea 615 0$aEngineering$xPhilosophy 615 0$aTechnology$xPhilosophy 676 $a601 700 $aPetroski$b Henry$0314428 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457506003321 996 $aAn engineer's alphabet$92475145 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04211nam 2200637 a 450 001 9910957223403321 005 20250704121002.0 010 $a1-283-95812-0 010 $a1-78160-393-6 035 $a(CKB)2670000000212126 035 $a(EBL)915259 035 $a(OCoLC)793996536 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000665024 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12275084 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000665024 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10633469 035 $a(PQKB)11108574 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC915259 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL915259 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10622011 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL427062 035 $a(PPN)228026938 035 $a(NyNyDIG)DIGPARKSTE0079 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000212126 100 $a20121127d2012 uy 0 101 0 $aspa 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$a[Temptis]$iVela?zquez y su e?poca /$fCarl Justi ; [Traduccio?n al espan?ol, Jaime Valencia Villa] 205 $a1st ed. 210 $a[New York] $cParkstone International$d[2012] 215 $a1 online resource (256 p.) 225 1 $aTemporis 300 $aIncludes index. 311 08$a958-30-2588-7 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aCONTENIDO; Introduccio?n; Sus primeros an?os; Contexto arti?stico de la e?poca; Vela?zquez y la Corte; El Aguador de Sevilla; Una anciana friendo huevos; La Epifani?a (o La adoracio?n de los magos); La expulsio?n de los moros; La fiesta de Baco (o Los borrachos); Una carrera floreciente; El interludio italiano y los di?as de El Buen Retiro; Villa Me?dicis; La forja de Vulcano; La tu?nica ensangrentada de Jose? llevada ante Jacob; Mari?a de Hungri?a; La rendicio?n de Breda (o Las lanzas); La caza del jabali?
