Hardcover. Condición: Very Good+. First Edition, First Printing. 1 volume (unpaged) : color illustrations ; 29 cm. Square 4to. Hardcover. Publisher's original gray cloth over boards, stamped in silver lettering to spine and uppper cover. Book Condition: signs of handling, lightly toned at foredges and spine. Interior unmarked, virtually pristine. Undoubtedly published for internal company use only, marketing and/or institutional memory. Scarce; worldcat shows one institutional holding at Stanford University. Not really a true corporate history, the book simply reviews 40 of the company's past projects, briefly summarizing the gist of each project in as few words possible with accompanying diagrams, charts, and color photography. It's fascinating stuff, beautifully done. Exponent, Inc. does post large system failure analysis and the've been busy. After the dust settles it makes sense that everyone is going to want to know why, exactly, and apparently, Exponent, Inc. is just the company to figure that out. Projects include: Crash of Turkish Airlines 981, Kansas City Arena Roof Collapse, The Big Dig (massive over budget and 10 years delayed), Oklahoma City Bombing, World Trade Center (9/11), etc etc. Lacking even an ISBN number, a pretty good indicator of lack of interest in gaining public exposure.
