To live in hearts we leave behind is not to die. In recent years non-religious funerals have become more common, but without an established canon of texts to fall back on, it can be difficult to plan an appropriate service for a loved one who had no religious belief or connections.

Their sojourn in the woods and what happens over a two-week period will change everything.

In times of crisis, one needs to stop and ask, “How did we get here?” Our contemporary chaos is the result of a society built upon pervasive systems of oppression, discrimination and violence that run deeper and reach further than most understand or care to realize. These draconian systems have been fundamental to many aspects of our lives, and we seem to have gradually allowed them more power. However, our foundation is not solid; it is fractured and collapsing – if we allow that. We need to start applying new models of interpretation and analysis to the deep-rooted problems at hand....

An Engineer's Book of Poetry describes the struggle and strife of an undergraduate engineering student, trying to build beautiful things in a burnt-up world. This book was inspired by the mean, old, engineering professors who taught me the dynamics of fluids, the heat of thermodynamics, and the mechanics of machines. It is derived from real-world situations, and kind TAs who helped me pass classes. The road from wanting to be an engineer to becoming one is long; this audiobook describes my incomplete journey. It is both advice, warning, and motivation for young engineers.
