Structures: Or Why Things Don't Fall Down by J. E. Gordon

As what the title of the book implies, it is a book that teaches its readers about the necessary knowledge required when it comes to understanding structures, as well as the details that engineers would indulge paying attention to in order for their greatest achievements to not go down in the history of humankind as some of the world's worst disasters.

This book aims to equip its readers with enough level of comprehension towards the topic to a point that they'd be able to at least engage in a conversation about structures with their friends who are engineers.

For people who hate math, the author of this book tried to exert very little amount of complex calculations that would stress the hell out of his readers. As a result, many of the things that the author wanted to emphasise further in the book, get consolidated with graphs that help the readers better understand the subtopics that they're currently reading.

Finally finished a manga two weeks ago that I've had put on hold for a long time: Ten: Tenhou-doori no Kaidanji. Got a bit into mahjong again because of this and played it online, while also reading Akagi: Yami ni Oritatta Tensai which I finished yesterday. While it isn't about only mahjong (it's about gambling and the mindset), that plays by far the largest part. Started Gin to Kin today which is a manga about the "underbelly" of society: illegal money lending, stock manipulation, corruption, extortion etc.

Cool. Thanks for the tip.

I actually find that I love math when I realize how to use to to accomplish something precisely, and it's explained simply. Ex: Ever watch Michael Van Biezen on YT?

My latest book: A found a copy of "The Machinery's Handbook (9th edition)"! It's in RW units, not the cursed "SI" crap! :)
