Inventing Modern(1st Edition) Growing up with X-Rays, Skyscrapers, and Tailfins by JohnH. Lienhard Paperback, 304 Pages, Published 2005 by Oxford University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-19-518951-3, ISBN: 0-19-518951-5
"Modern is a word much used, but hard to pin down. In Inventing Modern, John H. Lienhard uses that word to capture the furious rush of newness in the first half of 20th-century America. An unexpected world emerges from under the more familiar Modern. Beyond the airplanes, radios, art deco, skyscrapers, Fritz Lang's Metropolis, Buck Rogers, the culture of the open road--Burma Shave, Kerouac, and White Castles--lie driving forces that se ..."
The Engines of Our Ingenuity(1st Edition) An Engineer Looks at Technology and Culture by JohnH. Lienhard Paperback, 272 Pages, Published 2003 by Oxford University Press ISBN-13: 978-0-19-516731-3, ISBN: 0-19-516731-7
"Technology is not just a byword to refer to the sum of designs and applications that enable us to do things like open cans--or make cans in the first place. It is, writes engineer John Lienhard in this imaginative survey, an instrument by which we become more human, a means of interacting with and learning from the world. Technology mirrors humans, and humans mirror technology, and the question that remains is "whether we are to be lift ..."
How Invention Begins(1st Edition) Echoes of Old Voices in the Rise of New Machines by JohnH. Lienhard Paperback, 288 Pages, Published 2008 by Oxford University Press, Usa ISBN-13: 978-0-19-534120-1, ISBN: 0-19-534120-1
"Invention ―that single leap of a human mind that gives us all we create. Yet we make a mistake when we call a telephone or a light bulb an invention, says John Lienhard. In truth, light bulbs, airplanes, steam engines―these objects are the end results, the fruits, of vast aggregates of invention. They are not invention itself. In How Invention Begins, Lienhard reconciles the ends of invention with the individual leaps upon which they ar ..."

"Engineers face many challenges in systems design and research. Modeling and Approximation in Heat Transfer describes the approach to engineering solutions through simplified modeling of the most important physical features and approximating their behavior. Many excellent textbooks on thermal science have been written. Yet, most of these texts lack any systematic discussion of how modeling and associated synthesis can be carried out - in ..."

"An adventurer in both the physical and intellectual senses of the word, Heinrich Lienhard was born in Switzerland in 1822 and immigrated to America in 1843. Published here for the first time in either the original German or in English translation, this initial section of Lienhard’s enormous manuscript autobiography (more than half a million words) covers the years after his birth through his first several years in America.Lienhard’s acc ..."
