Product details

Engineering in Plain Sight is a beautifully illustrated field guide with clear explanations of nearly every part of the man-made world around us. The author, Grady Hillhouse, creator of the popular YouTube channel Practical Engineering, presents this book as 50 new episodes packed between two covers. It expands the genre of field guides from natural phenomena to human-made structures, making them accessible and understandable for non-engineers.

This book transforms readers' perspectives on the built environment, turning the act of observing infrastructure from an everyday commonplace into a daily distraction and joy. Each section includes colorful illustrations that reveal the fascinating details of how the man-made world functions. As an ideal companion for road trips, this book offers a fresh perspective on the parts of the environment that often fade into the background.

Readers will learn to identify features of the power grid, roads, railways, bridges, tunnels, waterways, and more. Engineering in Plain Sight sparks curiosity, interest, and engagement in how the infrastructure around us is designed and built.
