      note = {"If you use a MathCAD analogy to explain the birds and  bees to your teenager ... If you are so steeped in  structural parameters that you chortle over inappropriate  variables ... If you watched The Sopranos just for the  bridges pictured in the opening montage ... you are a  candidate for Brian Brenner's latest collection of humorous  essays that celebrate life as a practicing civil engineer.  In this book you'll learn valuable skills, like egosurfing  and how to use tribbles in a meeting to tell the engineers  from the contractors. You'll ponder what bridges would be  like if they could sing, and you'll discover friendships  you never knew bridges could have through social media.  Brenner also invites you to consider serious subjects, like  the transition from student to professional engineer and  the growth in girth of engineering standards. He speculates  on what will happen when, one day, some researcher  determines that the current amount of information is good  enough. Until then, Too Much Information: Living the Civil  Engineering Life will entertain you even while is shows  just how well civil engineering can explain life"--Back  cover.},
