 , by Roma Agrawal</p>\n<p>From group leader E D M Landman MD:</p>\n<p>A st
 ructural engineer examines the seven most basic building blocks of enginee
 ring that have shaped the modern world.<br />\nSome of humanity’s mighties
 t engineering achievements are small in scale―and\, without them\, the com
 plex machinery on which our modern world runs would not exist. In Nuts and
  Bolts\, structural engineer Roma Agrawal examines seven of these extraord
 inary elements: the nail\, the wheel\, the spring\, the magnet\, the lens\
 , the string\, and the pump.</p>\n<p>Tracing the evolution from Egyptian n
 ails to modern skyscrapers\, and Neanderthal string to musical instruments
 \, Agrawal shows us how even our most sophisticated items are built on the
  foundations of these ancient and fundamental breakthroughs.</p>\n<p>Eye-o
 pening and engaging\, Nuts and Bolts reveals the hidden building blocks of
  our modern world\, and shows how engineering has fundamentally changed th
 e way we live.</p>\n<p>The book may be obtained from your local library\,
