Excerpt from Engineering and Contracting, Vol. 53: Devoted to the Economics of Civil Engineering Design and to Methods and Costs of Construction; Index; January June, 1920
Take definition (a). Is it necessary to include the word art in a modern definition of engineering? What is an art, as here used? The old logicians and philosophers divided knowledge into two classes: (1) Art and (2) Science. But they were by no means agreed as to a definite dividing line between the two.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an in-depth look at roads and streets as well as the importance of improving them. Although much of America still relies on unpaved streets and РоÑоР, the improvements made to roads have historically been paid for by the local residents near the improvement, creating a financial burden that slowed those improvements down. The author argues that the psychological and economic benefits of improved roads and streets are not always immediately apparent for a variety of reasons including high upfront costs. Despite the economic value of better infrastructure, funding for engineering endeavors has been historically limited, especially when compared to funding for other public works projects. The author advocates for a change in the way we think about the value of well-constructed roads and streets, and encourages readers to support engineers and city planners in improving infrastructure.
