Description

Our world is filled with pernicious problems: how, for example, did novice pilots learn to fly without taking to the air and risking their lives?

We have generated solutions over time but challenges like these-wicked problems that tangle personal, public and environmental factors-are not going away any time soon.In Wicked Problems, engineer Guru Madhavan examines historic tragedies and lesser-known tales, from the efficient design of battleships to a volcano eruption that curtailed global commerce.

Braided throughout is the uplifting tale of Edwin Link, who revolutionised aviation with his flight trainer.

In Link's story, Madhavan uncovers a model mindset to engage with wickedness.

An homage to society's innovators and maintainers, Wicked Problems offers a refreshing vision for readers of all backgrounds to build a better future.
