HIGH LINES AND SKY LINES: Pioneering in Science and Industry by Norman Beasley

HIGH LINES AND SKY LINES: Pioneering in Science and Industry

By

Publisher: Harper

The story of the firm of Stone and Webster, electrical and industrial engineers. They were on the bandwagon of business expansion and engaged in world wide engineering, securities, and operation of public utility and industrial properties. The firm's career is told against a rapid fire summary of highlights of the years. Definitely a business man's book, particularly those interested in the financial aspects, and the industrial aspects. There is adventure, there is pioneering, there is business acumen.
