  George Washington's Engineer -...

  In January 1776, George Washington had a problem: the British army controlled the city of Boston. The colonial army needed to force the British to leave. But how? 
    
  Washington had a solution: ask his engineer Rufus Putnam to solve the problem. They needed to take control of the high ground, Dorchester Heights, just south of Boston. They could place cannons there to bombard the British army. 
    
  Cannons on Dorchester Heights meant the colonials needed to build walls to protect their soldiers. But January in Massachusetts was so cold that the ground was frozen. No one could dig foundations for walls. Putnam needed an engineering miracle. 
    
  Courage and engineering ingenuity are celebrated in this intriguing story of the role of engineering in the Revolutionary War.

  The Cold Equations - No Margin...

  The frontier of space is governed by rules that do not bend for hope, youth, or good intentions. In The Cold Equations, an Emergency Dispatch Ship races to deliver life-saving serum to a dying survey team on a distant world. Every calculation has already been made. Every variable accounted for. Or so it seems. 
  When an unexpected presence is discovered aboard the ship, the pilot realizes that survival is no longer a matter of heroism or mercy. The laws that govern space travel are exact, and they allow no appeals. What follows is a deeply personal confrontation between compassion and necessity, told with quiet restraint and relentless logic. 
  Tom Godwin was a mid-century science fiction writer best known for his stark, uncompromising portrayals of humanity facing the realities of an unforgiving universe. His work often rejected comforting illusions in favor of hard limits imposed by physics, environment, and consequence. 
  Published in 1954, The Cold Equations became one of the most discussed science fiction stories of its era. It sparked decades of debate about ethics, realism, and whether science fiction should comfort or confront its audience. Godwin’s legacy endures because his stories refuse easy answers and trust readers to wrestle with them.
