Success Through Failure

Design pervades our lives. Everything from drafting a PowerPoint presentation to planning a state-of-the-art bridge embodies this universal human activity. This book shows us that making something better - by carefully anticipating and thus averting failure - is what invention and design are all about. It explores the nature of invention.
