Description

Explore the fundamental principles of engineering with Structures or Why Things Don't Fall Down by Springer. This book takes a unique approach to the subject by attempting to describe basic structural concepts without relying heavily on complex mathematics. This method makes the core ideas of structural stability more accessible to readers looking to understand the foundations of how things stay standing. While the author acknowledges the difficulty of stripping away mathematics to define these elementary concepts, the text provides a meaningful look at the building blocks of structural science. This volume serves as a sequel to The New Science, building upon previous ideas to offer a deeper perspective on the physical world. It is an ideal choice for those interested in the crafts, hobbies, and home applications of structural principles, offering a perspective that seeks to pin down the very basics of why objects remain upright and stable.

Key Features
