Reader’s Note
7 out of 10
The problem-solving I enjoyed enormously; the jokes I could have done without about a hundred times. Seven, and most of it is for the chapter where he works out the units.

I lived through one of these. Permissible stress gave way to limit state design over about a decade, and the older men never converted; they simply retired. He has the mechanism right and nearly everything else vague. Eight.8 out of 10The Structure of Scientific Revolutions
