Book Description
In every age, science and technology have played an important role in advancing human civilization. From architecture to engineering, communication to transportation, humans have invented and developed extraordinary wonders. Engineers take the discoveries of scientists and mathematicians to make practical things, from roads and bridges to weapons and vehicles. Electronic engineers design and build everything from television sets to computers. Chemical engineers research new uses for plastics and other materials. Other engineers design new energy sources and nonpolluting factories. In this book, we’ll explore seven wonders of modern engineering that allow people to travel beneath the ocean, bring power to entire cities, and land on the moon. We’ll also see engineering wonders that cut though a continent and design engines too small to see. Along the way, we’ll see advancements in materials, technology, and construction techniques, and we’ll learn the stories of how and why these engineering feats became important to the world.

Book Description
Did you know you can change someone's opinion about you by being nice to them? Or that a business should first establish trust with its employees before it does so with its customers? And you may think you want that job more than anything, but you shouldn't want it badly enough to violate your conscience. These are just a few small samplings of the kinds of wisdom packed inside A Little About a Lot. Whether you're a student of life or just curious about things, author Jeffrey Posnick's eclectic treasure of more than two hundred short topics—from human behavior to the economy to the arts—has something for everyone. All that is needed is a curious mind and a desire to learn. So, step away from yourself, and pay attention to the details. A Little About a Lot will help you along that journey of learning new things, and hopefully, you will discover more about yourself in the process.
