Review: Built

 Built is Roma Agrawal's book on civil engineering. It won several awards so I started it with fairly high hopes. The book is written in modern "creative non-fiction" style, with lots of personal interjections into various parts of the exposition, which irritated me quite a bit. Do I really care about your initial impressions of your fiance or what you decided to wear while I'm learning about how the Romans used cement?

A lot of the parts of this book are not surprisingly covered better in the great courses series Engineering Lessons and the Lessons they teach
