ABSTRACT
It is a truism to say that engineering projects have recently changed: they always have changed, ever since man first made a spark by striking two stones together or watched a kettle boil; and they always will. However, it is safe to say that the changes which have taken place over the past few decades (possibly as the indirect result of two world wars) have been very considerable by any standards, and it is fitting that we should finish this book with a summary of the chief enactments have brought about by developments in people and things.
