About this work

Description

"Most books on engineering design are concerned with either mathematical analysis or some individual technique related to a narrow field. This book is neither: it defines the general laws which underlie all creative design, from the philosophy and psychology of inventiveness to the point at which an invention is commercially exploited. It thus cuts across the frontiers of specialized studies and specialized industries."-- From dust jacket.
