Engineers for Change
An account of conflicts within engineering in the 1960s that helped shape our dominant contemporary understanding of technological change as the driver of history. In the late 1960s an eclectic group of engineers joined the antiwar and civil rights activists of the time in agitating for change. The engineers were fighting to remake their profession, challenging their fellow engineers to embrace a more humane vision of technology. In Engineers for Change, Matthew Wisnioski offers an account of this conflict within engineering, linking it to deep-seated assumptions about technology and American life. The postwar period in America saw a near-utopian belief in technology's beneficence. Beginning...

Scientific Creationism
EVOLUTIONISM VS. CREATIONISM...WHAT DOES THE EVIDENCE REVEAL? Explore scientific law as it connects to evolution & creation Extract the truth of these two conflicting worldviews Examine the evidence for the origin of earth and man Evolutionism is often taught blindly in schools without regard to what the evidence truly says. A powerful tool for teachers and other individuals, Scientific Creationism provides one of the most comprehensive analyses of the evidence for evolution and creation. What can we learn from fossils? How does catastrophism play a part in origins? Why are many “evolutionary” discoveries so surprising? A careful study of these questions shows that evolution is impossible, and creation is quite predictable! Includes a special section that places the scientific evidence in its proper biblical and theological context.
Values, Nature, and Culture in the American Corporation
In Values, Nature, and Culture in the American Corporation, distinguished ethicist William Frederick explores issues of fundamental importance to all who aspire to conduct their business affairs ethically. He begins with an examination of the three value systems in business that are basically incompatible, and therefore in constant tension. The first is the need for managers to efficiently allocate resources for maximum profits. The second is the natural tendency for managers, in pursuit of the first goal, to accumulate power for its own sake. The third is the desire for people in the community to create relationships that will perpetuate these communities. Frederick brings in a range of ideas and concepts from the social sciences as well as the natural sciences to illuminate his discussion. In the final section of the book he explores a range of issues of current concern to managers, including corporate culture and technology.
