- Summary:
- Engineer Petroski now turns his keenly observant eye on himself and tells the story of his Eisenhower-era adolescence in the Cambria Heights section of Queens. "Paperboy" is a dual delight: at once a nostalgic memoir of a bygone America and a charming account of the intellectual maturation of one of the most eloquent science writers of our time.
