Control of complex and often risk-prone technologies, now largely developed
and managed by big organisations, will require a scientifically literate public,
as well as an understanding of the historical, organisational, economic, legal
and even emotional forces that have shaped them. Robert Pool’s Beyond
Engineering, now in paperback, is a valuable step towards this goal. Published
