Interiors
Interior design firm owner Rebecca Armstrong thrives on her work. It helps her set aside her feelings about the tragic loss of her adoptive parents a decade earlier and a manipulative lover who deserted her in her time of need. When Rebecca lands a dream contract for her firm, her past will challenge her new business relationship and her growing friendship with an older couple who are clients. Blake Hunter, a successful self-made businessman has a past too. Owner of a famous hotel chain, his childhood haunts him. A personal commitment has followed him into adulthood, causing enormous pain and grief. When he contracts Rebecca's firm to design the interior of his new luxury hotel, he finds the walls around his heart challenged by her forthright openness. Set in beautiful St. John's, Newfoundland, the lives of these four individuals increasingly intertwine, causing upheaval, new awareness and changed relationships.
Engineering Education for Social Justice
Hoping to help transform engineering into a more socially just field of practice, this book offers various perspectives and strategies while highlighting key concepts and themes that help readers understand the complex relationship between engineering education and social justice. This volume tackles topics and scopes ranging from the role of Buddhism in socially just engineering to the blinding effects of ideologies in engineering to case studies on the implications of engineered systems for social justice. This book aims to serve as a framework for interventions or strategies to make social justice more visible in engineering education and enhance scholarship in the emerging field of Engineering and Social Justice (ESJ). This creates a ‘toolbox’ for engineering educators and students to make social justice a central theme in engineering education.
Shards
This is a story that spans three generations. It begins with Sherry, who has a child out of wedlock. She runs away to have the child alone, but the father of the baby finds her and eventually marries her. Sherry's baby, Leora, grows up in a happy family atmosphere and enjoys attending school. She gets involved in a lovers' triangle in high school, and it carries on for over twenty years, throughout high school and her marriage to Jim, the love of his life, with whom she has two beautiful daughters. As hard as she tries to wrest herself from Brad, her lover, it is impossible. This is also a story of cancer, multiple sclerosis, death, grief, and the strength to carry on, survive, and actually make a new life without the deceased loved ones.
Designing a Digital Portfolio
Portfolios have always been artists' most valuable tools for communicating their talents to the outside world, whether to potential employers or galleries or clients. But the days of sketches and slides have given way to arrangements of digital assets that are both simpler and more complex than their traditional analog counterparts. Instructor and design professional Cynthia Baron covers all the facets that artists need to know, from choosing the best work for a particular audience to using various file formats to organizing, designing, and presenting the portfolio. Beautiful full-color illustrations demonstrate her instructions, and case studies throughout portray examples of attractive and effective portfolio design. This book gives artists at any level a creative edge, ensuring that their portfolios get noticed and help them stand out from the crowd.

Garbage Crisis
This book will focus on "Waste Management," a serious global issue and engineers' responsibility towards finding better solutions for its sustainable management. Solid waste management is one of the major environmental burdens in both developed and developing countries alike. An alarming rate of solid waste generation trends can be seen as a result of globalization, industrialization, and rapid economic development. However, low-income and marginalized sectors in society suffer most from the unfavorable conditions deriving from poor waste management. Solid waste management is not a mere technical challenge. The environmental impact, socio-economic, cultural, institutional, legal, and politic...

Diaries of Girls and Women
Diaries of Girls and Women captures and preserves the diverse lives of forty-seven girls and women who lived in Minnesota, Iowa, and Wisconsin between 1837 and 1999—young schoolgirls, adolescents coming of age, newlywed wives, mothers grieving the loss of children, teachers, nurses, elderly women, Luxembourger immigrant nuns, and women traveling abroad.

Bunkers has selected these excerpts from more than 450 diaries she examined. Some diaries were kept only briefly, others through an entire lifetime; som...
