A glimps of electrical and mechanical engineering.

Excellent narration. Very well structured from past, present, and future. Readers will hear some formulaes mentioned.

Awesome narration

Really enjoyable narrator cadence, also gave nice insight to historical context behind major inventions and how they've evolved.

Examples made it easier to understand

For a person who doesn’t have any experience with this subject, this was very helpful

Great read!

I loved the over-encompassing narrative on all aspects of Engineering, not just Electrical or Mechanical. This book is a great supplement to any Engineering discipline, and helps Engineers realize their roles on a global level.

just ok

Though entitled "a degree in a book", of course it could never be. But being an engineer for 25 years, I was curious to see my profession boiled down to 11 hours.
The book is a little bit quirky, and brings with it the experience and opinions of its author. for instance, I infer that he is english, as there are so many references to English scientists. I actually don't mind this and in fact learned a little bit.
but later in the book, it seems to stray into some of the authors favorite cul-de-sacs. he seems to know lots about the space program, but then feels it necessary to lecture on fuel cells, climate change Etc.
