If you find yourself doing the quick pocket pat-down known as the Engineer\u2019s Check\u2026 If you use a MathCAD analogy to explain the birds and the bees to your teenager\u2026 If you are so steeped in structural parameters that you chortle over inappropriate variables\u2026 If you watched The Sopranos<\/i> just for the bridges pictured in the opening montage\u2026 \u2026 you are a candidate for Brian Brenner\u2019s latest collection of humorous essays that celebrate life as a practicing civil engineer. In this book you\u2019ll learn valuable skills, like egosurfing and how to use tribbles in a meeting to tell the engineers from the contractors. You\u2019ll ponder what bridges would be like if they could sing, and you\u2019ll discover friendships you never knew bridges could have, through social media. Brenner also invites you to consider serious subjects, like the transition from student to professional engineer and the growth in girth of engineering standards. He speculates on what will happen when, one day, some researcher determines that the current amount of information is good enough. Until then, Too Much Information: Living the Civil Engineering Life<\/i> will entertain you even while it shows just how well civil engineering can explain life. Praise for Don\u2019t Throw This Away! The Civil Engineering Life<\/i><\/b> Brenner\u2019s honest, assured voice, brainiac populism, and bite-sized essays make this a quirky, addictive winner that should bring out the \u2018inner civil engineer\u2019 in a wide cross-section of readers.” Publishers Weekly<\/i> Brian Brenner, P.E.,<\/strong> is a vice president and structural engineer with Fay, Spofford, and Thorndike in Burlington, Massachusetts. His work includes bridge design projects throughout New England and the New York metropolitan area. As a professor at Tufts University, he teaches the bridge and concrete design classes and advises students on research projects. He is the author of Don\u2019t Throw This Away! The Civil Engineering Life<\/i> and Bridginess: More of the Civil Engineering Life,<\/i> both published by ASCE Press.”<\/p>\n
