Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Nice popular science bookBy David MantheyAs a popular science book about wind engineering. this books is excellent. As a biography of Alan Davenport. I think it falls somewhat short.Overall. I liked it quite a bit -- I liked that the author didnt explain every term (though there is a glossary in the back). so that those who know what things mean already arent stuck reading about the basics of engineering. I felt the figures matched fairly well the level of the text -- hints of much greater complexity with many simple presentations. You wont learn (much) engineering from the text. but you at least can see how it is done and what factors are considered.As a biography. we get a decent introduction to Alan Davenport. but his adult life is all about his professional technical successes. I have no idea how he felt about his family (other than taking them to view bridges). how his relationship with his wife was. or if he ever retired before passing away. What is presented is fine. I guess my complaint is that I felt the introductory chapter made me expect more of a biography than the book had.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. ExcellentBy David BendertThis book is a perfect mix of technical information and story. It is appropriate for an engineer or lay person.3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Disappointed after reading good reviewBy D. BarryI read a review in New Scientist that prompted me to get this book. Expected a more informative explanation of the effects of wind on structures and the design issues related to them. Gave up 2/3 way through. Diagrams are poorly presented with. for me at least. insufficient explanation to make them informative. As a mix of biography and technical information I found it failed on both counts.
