"Bob Lucky has very deftly put into words the feelings of thousands of engineers. Lucky Strikes … Again treats with humor and compassion our daily struggles and triumphs."
—Don Christiansen IEEE Spectrum

"[Lucky] directs his humorous barbs at such likely targets as the guilt of having fun at technical conferences, the inevitable failure of equipment demonstrations in the presence of Members of Upper Management ("the MUM effect"), and the lack of communication within organizations ("we all have the comforting illusion that there is someone up there who knows what is going on"). But he is also able to apply wit and a light touch to topics such as citizen advice to government, the public image of engineers, and the loss of U. S. preeminence in certain technologies."
—Samuel C. Florman, Author

"Reading the essays is like enjoying the writings of a fine novelist 51;easy to understand, lots of character, subtle insights in which we all find our own experiences."
—Derek Leebaert Georgetown University Author of the widely acclaimed "Reflections" column in Spectrum magazine
