Inhaltsangabe

McEwen offers ferocious wit, a stream of magnificent sentences . . . and a blissful knowledge of what really matters in life.
Guardian
The lever, wedge, wheel and axle, pulley, screw and inclined plane. Some argue that the plane is an application of the wedge, or vice versa; some insist there s altogether too much focus on the mechanics but a boy whose dik (sic) is beginning to make nonsense of the fit of his trousers has to begin somewhere. Along the way, fine women are loved and lost, human error is not averted, and much is learned, of both a practical and a speculative nature. The machine, says Saint-Exupéry, does not isolate man from the great problems of nature but plunges him more deeply into them.
