520 1 _a"In Don't Throw This Away! The Civil Engineering Life, Brenner reports on what it's like to be a civil engineer in the 21st century: the mindset, the practice, the profession. Equally skilled as a writer and an engineer, Brenner ranges from serious discussions of suburban sprawl, technology run amok, and bridge aesthetics, to comical accounts of packrat habits, quacking moments, and engineering fashion. This collection of essays displays Brenner's distinctive combination of quirky humor and engineering "right stuff.""--Jacket.
