well its a bit engineery but if you like non fiction and are interested in the way things work check outThe Control of Nature by John McPhee.
its about three circumstances where the US has used military and other engineering outfits in an attempt to control various natural forces. directing a volcano in iceland is pretty neat. but it also foreshadowed the problems in New Orleans with the Army Corps attempt to control the flow of the Mississippi River and the draining of the swamps around NO.
its technical, but its a great read and not too long|
