520    "In Saving Michelangelo's Dome, Stanford-trained engineer 
       Wayne Kalayjian illustrates how new ideas in science and 
       mathematics established an entirely new way of looking at 
       the world--as well as solving its complex problems. In the
       end, readers will appreciate that in saving Michelangelo's
       Dome from collapse, these three mathematicians and one 
       determined pope unknowingly invented the profession of 
       engineering as we practice it today. With it, they 
       transformed the architectural world and ushered in 
       generations of future buildings and structures that, 
       otherwise, would never have been built"--Publisher's 
       description.
