Rescuing Prometheus is an eye-opening and marvelously informative look at some of the technological projects that helped shape the modern world.  Thomas P. Hughes focuses on four postwar projects whose vastness and complexity inspired new technology, new organizations, and new management styles.  The first use of computers to run systems was developed for the SAGE air defense project.  The Atlas missile project was so complicated it required the development of systems engineering in order to complete it.  The Boston Central Artery/Tunnel Project tested systems engineering in the complex crucible of a large scale civilian roadway.  And finally, the origins of the Internet fostered the collegial management style that later would take over Silicon Valley and define the modern computer industry.  With keen insight, Hughes tells these fascinating stories while providing a riveting history of modern technology and the management systems that made it possible.

In Human-Built World, Thomas P. Hughes restores to technology the richness and depth it deserves by writing its intellectual history.

Describes Tom Brown's time at Rugby School from his first football match, through his troubled adolescence when he is savagely bullied by the unspeakable Flashman, to his departure for a wider world as a confident young man.

The idea for Tom Brown's Schooldays came one day when Thomas Hughes was wondering what to say to his son, aged 8, before he went off to Rugby. He decided that good might be done by writing a real novel for boys, written in a right spirit but distinctly aimed at being interesting.
