The Road Taken by Henry Petroski
The History and Future of America's Infrastructure
An accessible exploration of how America’s roads, bridges, water systems, and power networks were built, how they deteriorate, and what it takes to maintain and modernize them. Blending engineering history, policy insight, and real-world case studies, it shows the costs of neglect and politicized funding while arguing for sustained investment, smarter design, and long-term planning to keep critical infrastructure safe, resilient, and economically vital.
