The Existential Pleasures of Engineering
Humans have always sought to change their environment - building houses, monuments, temples and roads. In the process, they have remade the fabric of the world into newly functional objects that are also works of art to be admired. Samuel Florman explores how engineers think and feel about their profession in The Existential Pleasures of Engineering. Florman celebrates engineering as not only crucial and fundamental but also vital and alive; he views it as a response to some of our deepest impulses, an endeavour rich in spiritual and sensual rewards. An eloquent, witty and perceptive celebration of our deepest creative impulses, The Existential Pleasures of Engineering is an informative account of the modern-day engineer's experience.

A Moment In Time
Jim is a New York City firefighter wrestling with the challenges of urban living and the stresses of a dangerous occupation. But he is also battling demons within himself. Is something from the past actually lurking deep inside him or are the vague memories of indistinct people and intense flashbacks of unfamiliar objects mere illusions? Can he share such thoughts with Laura, the woman in his life, whose affluent background contrasts sharply with his working-class roots? In A Moment in Time, you will crawl down burning hallways and experience the hidden side of New York City. It explores the underbelly of urban existence and portrays an intimate view of the world of firefighting. But it also examines what it means to share and to love and addresses a broader existential question. Is it possible that our current lives are merely extensions of previous incarnations?
