{"product_id":"9780393651461","title":"Wicked Problems : How to Engineer a Better World by Guru Madhavan","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.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56289697104245,"sku":"9780393651461","price":22.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780393651461.jpg?v=1762725428","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780393651461","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
