Rezensionen

"The bulk of this book is a catalogue of collapses. Bardi starts small with structural failures, such as collapsing building, avalanches, or cracks in metal objects and how these grow. He then walks the reader through a selection of cheerful examples of past or imminent collapses on larger scales ... . Bardi's book is an interesting and worthwhile exercise in bringing together many seemingly disparate topics into one framework that should get readers thinking."
