In fact, direct copying of biological organisms can lead to poor, or even disastrous, engineering designs. Perhaps one of my favorite non-fiction books, Henry Petroski looks at a very different aspect of engineering that has not really been touched on before; the role of failure in design. This book uncovers the issues with design and the lessons we can learn from failure. A professor both of civil engineering and history at Duke University, he is also a prolific author. To Engineer is Human: The Role of Failure in Successful Design. Henry Petroski is also the author of To Engineer Is Human: The Role of Failure in Successful Design, which should be accessible to nearly everyone. Consider all the failed attempts humans made to fly by building contraptions with flapping wings. To Engineer is Human: The Role of Failure in Successful Design by Henry Petroski. No one wants to learn by mistakes, but we cannot learn enough from successes to go beyond the state of the art. The last post about "The Evolution of Useful Things" reminded me about another of Petroski's books that I read some years ago: "To Engineer is Human: The Role of Failure in Successful Design".
