Explorations in the History and Heritage of Machines and Mechanisms
This book gathers the latest advances in the field of history of science and technology, as presented by leading international researchers at the 7th International Symposium on History of Machines and Mechanisms (HMM), held in Granada and Jaén, Spain on April 28-30, 2022. The Symposium, which was promoted by the permanent commission for the History of Machine and Mechanism Science (MMS) of IFToMM, provided an international forum to present and discuss historical developments in the field of MMS.

The contributions, which were selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, highlight numerous exciting ideas that will spur novel research directions and foster multidisciplinary collaborations.
Campbell Farm and the Migrant Murders
When Cody Campbell hires migrant workers for his shipping business, he has no idea how much trouble he's just brought upon himself. Even so, Ricardo Lopez is hard working, as is his crew?including the beautiful Anita Lopez. Although Cody already has a relationship with his secretary, he quickly drops her for his exotic new employee. When Ricardo Lopez's brother is murdered, he and Anita return to Mexico for his burial rites. They return a few months later and Anita is pregnant with Cody's child. Their happy reunion is interrupted when she and Ricardo are arrested for bank robbery. All is not as it seems as the trial commences. Everyone is a suspect as the bodies pile up?even Cody, who struggles to care for his newborn son with Anita in prison. Are the migrant workers behind all the crime in Cody's small town, or is someone more nefarious at the reigns? Hopefully, the case will be closed ? before they all end up dead. Thanks to my family and friends who believed in me and encouraged me to publish my work.
