Review:
"Reading THE EVOLUTION OF USEFUL THINGS, you never know when you will turn a page and find some tiny corner of your mind enlightened."
Christopher Lehmann-Haupt, New York Times
Review:"Petroski liberally mixes biography, social history, design theory and even word derivations into these affectionately told tales...THE EVOLUTION OF USEFUL THINGS is readable and entertaining."
Bettina Drew, Chicago Tribune
