Product Information

Today's unprecedented pace of change leaves many people wondering what new technologies are doing to our lives. Has social media robbed us of our privacy and fed us with false information? Are the decisions about our health, security and finances made by computer programs inexplicable and biased? Will these algorithms become so complex that we can no longer control them? Are robots going to take our jobs? Will better health care lead to an aging population which cannot be cared for? Can we provide housing for our ever-growing urban populations? And has our demand for energy driven the Earth's climate to the edge of catastrophe? John Browne argues that we need not and must not put the brakes on technological advance. Civilization is founded on engineering innovation; all progress stems from the human urge to make things and to shape the world around us, resulting in greater freedom, health and wealth for all. Drawing on history, his own experiences and conversations with many of today's great innovators, he uncovers the basis for all progress and its consequences, both good and bad. He argues compellingly that the same spark that triggers each innovation can be used to counter its negative consequences. Make, Think, Imagine provides an eloquent blueprint for how we can keep moving towards a brighter future.

Reviews
Browne's book is...thoughtful, analytical, insightful, comprehensive, wide-ranging, and deeply researched., "The topics the author chooses to cover, ranging from the use of coal in ancient China to the Bessemer converter and silver photography, unfold in thoughtful detail, and the ample footnotes accompanying the text are as diverting as they are helpful." [Praise for Seven Elements That Changed the World], A tribute to engineers like Rousseau, the tribe of pragmatic creators who, Mr. Browne says, are 'at the heart of all human progress.' Mr. Browne has created a sturdy and useful product, achieving the engineer's blend of 'hopefulness and pragmatism' that he so deeply admires., In his first foray into popular-science writing, Browne does an admirable job crafting an informative and engrossing chemistry-based view of history., Mixes in his travels and anecdotes from an impressive career to produce a lively, educational examination of civilization's building blocks., "The human quest for knowledge has led to extraordinary progress. This book forces us to confront these realities and does so in a unique and fascinating way. It weaves science and humanity together in a way that gives us new insight. This is an expertly crafted book by a unique thinker." [Praise for Seven Elements That Changed the World], "Mixes in his travels and anecdotes from an impressive career to produce a lively, educational examination of civilization's building blocks." [Praise for Seven Elements That Changed the World], Mr. Browne uses his chosen elements to frame a wide-ranging look at scientific progress. It's also a lot of fun., The topics the author chooses to cover, ranging from the use of coal in ancient China to the Bessemer converter and silver photography, unfold in thoughtful detail, and the ample footnotes accompanying the text are as diverting as they are helpful., The human quest for knowledge has led to extraordinary progress. This book forces us to confront these realities and does so in a unique and fascinating way. It weaves science and humanity together in a way that gives us new insight. This is an expertly crafted book by a unique thinker., Browne views engineering as inherently translational. He describes engineering as 'a head with two sets of eyes: one looks to the fruits of discovery, while the other looks to the demands of commerce and customers.' A pivotal moment in Browne's career trajectory, he said, was his realization that 'no solution was complete unless it resulted in something practical that humanity wanted., "In his first foray into popular-science writing, Browne does an admirable job crafting an informative and engrossing chemistry-based view of history." [Praise for Seven Elements That Changed the World], Browne takes readers on a fascinating yet practical intellectual journey into both past and future technologies, focusing on the technologies most likely to benefit humankind...The author's interviews and personal experiences make this material come alive. The occasional diagrams and black-and-white images surely enhance understanding, and researchers will definitely appreciate the voluminous notes, chock-full of detailed explanations, as well as the comprehensive index featuring numerous detailed sub-entries. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All readers., "Mr. Browne uses his chosen elements to frame a wide-ranging look at scientific progress. It's also a lot of fun."
