{"product_id":"reminiscences-of-a-queensland-engineer-andrew-patterson-9781982291495","title":"Reminiscences of a Queensland Engineer","description":"Andrew Patterson looks back at his life growing up in suburban Brisbane and his career as a civil engineer in this memoir. Born during World War II, he grew up in a rented house in Doomben a short distance from the southern end of Brisbane's main Eagle Farm Aerodrome-not a particularly safe place to live during wartime. Many family members and friends used their home as a staging post on their way north to war. His family life was sometimes odd, with his father always urging him to do well in school-or else he would turn him and his brother, Gavin, into \"bloody little Bank Johnnies.\" He said it in such a disparaging way that it sounded like this would be the worst punishment they could possibly suffer. He also recalls his array of experiences as a civil engineer working in Queensland and other projects throughout the world. Join the author as he shares a firsthand account of growing up in Queensland, his passion for sailing and flying, and his fascinating life as an engineer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrew Patterson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1982291494\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781982291495\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Balboa Press Au\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.42d","brand":"Andrew Patterson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49083074642175,"sku":"9781982291495","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reminiscences-of-a-queensland-engineer-andrew-patterson-9781982291495","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
