I went through his list last year and selected two books that got my attention.<p>The first is a book about the rise of the shipping container. Really informative and clearly describes the design process behind a technique we&#x27;ve always taken for granted. It&#x27;s a historical account mainly, starting from the idea all the way to modern day shipping.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;The-Box-Shipping-Container-Smaller&#x2F;dp&#x2F;0691136408" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;The-Box-Shipping-Container-Smaller&#x2F;dp&#x2F;...</a><p>The second, which I read through the first few chapters of, describes the origins of the steam engine, but it was a bit bland for my tastes.<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;The-Most-Powerful-Idea-World&#x2F;dp&#x2F;0226726347" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;The-Most-Powerful-Idea-World&#x2F;dp&#x2F;022672...</a><p>Both are interesting books to be frank so I&#x27;d recommend at least checking them out.
