Henry Petroski is a really fascinating writer. An engineer who makes
engineering understandable
here is a link to the book Holly mentioned

sc_b_1/002-2333598-6584858>
My favorites are "The Pencil" (how many know that Henry Thoreau was a pencil
manufacturer) and "The Evolution of Useful Things" (especially the chapter
on paperclips)
