Grady Hillhouse is a civil engineer and science communicator widely known for his educational video series Practical Engineering, currently one of the largest engineering channels on YouTube with over 3 million subscribers and millions of views each month. Engineering in Plain Sight extends the field guide genre from natural phenomena to human-made structures, making them approachable and understandable to non-engineers. The great thing about a young one asking you questions, of course, is that it helps you to remember to look around and think about these things again, and now that there are more books available than ever, you can more often than not find out the answer. and applying it to the, um, non-natural one, he’s helped me understand for the first time basic but important things … like how a cell tower actually works.
