I haven't read the book, but sympathise greatly with its aims. I guess it is intended to follow in the tradition of some of Petroski's work, Gordon's "Structures", and so on.
Paul Marks of the New Scientist, whom I know, and who follows aviation and computer-safety issues, reviewed it there (issue 2628, 3 November 2007).
