  What is engineering for: private profit or the public good? 
   
  In this incisive essay from *Civilization in the United States*, mechanical engineer O. S. Beyer, Jr. examines the transformation of American engineering and the economic forces reshaping the profession. 
   
  Beyer traces the field from its early pioneers—independent builders and inventors who designed roads, machinery, cities, and public infrastructure—to the rise of modern industrial corporations. As technology became increasingly essential to manufacturing and transportation, engineers gained greater technical responsibility but often lost control over how their work was used. 
   
  Instead of serving society directly, many became salaried employees required to prioritize corporate profit, production speed, and financial efficiency. Beyer warns that engineering systems designed without concern for human consequences can reduce workers to little more than parts in an industrial machine. 
   
  He also challenges engineers to reconsider their position between corporate leadership and organized labor. Because their decisions directly affect wages, safety, working conditions, and quality of life, engineers cannot remain socially neutral. 
   
  For Beyer, technical knowledge alone is not enough. Engineers must understand economics, politics, labor, and human behavior if technology is to improve society rather than simply enrich private owners. 
   
  Originally published in 1922, *Engineering* is a thought-provoking examination of professional ethics, corporate power, industrial labor, and the responsibility of those who design the systems on which modern life depends. 
   
  Narrated by John Riddle.

  Stone by Stone - The Magnificent...

  There once may have been 250,000 miles of stone walls in America's Northeast, stretching farther than the distance to the moon. And even though most are crumbling today, they contain a magnificent scientific and cultural story. 
   
   
   
  Stone walls tell nothing less than the story of how New England was formed, and in Robert Thorson's hands they live and breathe. Millions of years ago, New England's stones belonged to ancient mountains thrust up by prehistoric collisions between continents. Buried again over centuries by forest and soil buildup, the stones gradually worked their way back to the surface, only to become impediments to the farmers cultivating the land in the eighteenth century, who piled them into "linear landfills," a place to hold the stones. Usually the biggest investment on a farm, often exceeding that of the land and buildings combined, stone walls became a defining element of the Northeast's landscape, and a symbol of the shift to an agricultural economy. 
   
   
   
  Stone walls layer time like Russian dolls, their smallest elements reflecting the longest spans, and Thorson urges us to study them, for each stone has its own story. Linking geological history to the early American experience, Stone by Stone presents a fascinating picture of the land the Pilgrims settled, allowing us to see and understand it with new eyes.

  A slippery reality farce based on following the money, an independent research facility with no particular disciplinary focus and no public sector grant money or foundation funding is doing its best to "sound kosher", let alone keep the operations flowing. An overworked lab sciences foundation director has been working tirelessly to keep funding coming in to the aging, if not otherwise obsolete, somewhat mediocre research facility, procuring the oddest of scientific studies.As read by the author, and narrator, author Ron Knight (national voice of Nickelodeon, The Travel Channel, ABC Sports Network Television, Prime and Sirius Satellite Radio, with background at Archie Comics and King Features/Hearst) spins us through the otherwise shaky dealings of an insecure science foundation, through "John Cleese inspired" high brow, low embarrassment status differentials, in this best of short form literature under 15 minutes. Taken from real life stories published in the New York Times, this real time mashup breaks improv sketch style comedy as first produced at the New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts' School for Film and Television, into the adapted audiobook narrative form. 5 characters, 4 male, 1 female, in addition to the main narrator role position. Published by the author's studio as short form audiobook.

  The Cardiac Fulcrum - The...

  A crucial point of this research was the discovery of a myocardial support that we have termed cardiac fulcrum. The heart cannot be anatomically suspended and free in the thoracic cavity because it would be impossible to eject blood at a speed of 200 cm/s. Consequently, it was necessary for it to have a point of attachment, which was identified and called cardiac fulcrum (lever supporting point). In this supporting point, the muscle fibers are inserted in its structure of connective, chondroid or osseous nature, according to the specimens analyzed. All the hearts (bovine, porcine and human) studied in our investigations with anatomical and histological techniques certified this binding. The fibers that give origin to the myocardium, as well as those at its end, are attached to the fulcrum, leaving the rest of the muscular structure free in the mediastinum. Moreover, the cardiac fulcrum is seen in human adult and gestational ultrasounds, in computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
