  “What do you think happens after we die?” has been Elizabeth Earley’s favorite conversation starter since the motorcycle accident that almost killed her. In Little Deaths All in a Row: Essays on Sex and Death, Earley delves into memories of past lovers and offers vivid portraits of the hospice patients she has worked with after recovering from her own near-fatal injuries. Tracing the many connections—philosophical, scientific, ethical, and spiritual—between sex and death, these lyric essays ponder the afterlife, pain and pleasure, quantum entanglement and love, and the “strange and painful goodness of being alive.”

  Civil engineering is a multifaceted field that intersects with many aspects of our daily lives. It involves the planning, design, construction, and maintenance of infrastructure that supports modern society, including buildings, bridges, roads, railways, airports, water supply and treatment systems, wastewater treatment plants, and more. Civil engineers collaborate with architects, urban planners, environmental scientists, and other professionals to create functional and resilient structures that meet the needs of communities while considering factors like safety, sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and environmental impact.  
  They use advanced technologies such as computer-aided design (CAD), geographic information systems (GIS), and Building Information Modeling (BIM) to optimize their designs and streamline project management processes. Moreover, civil engineering encompasses various specialized fields, including structural engineering (which focuses on designing safe and efficient structures), geotechnical engineering (which deals with soil and rock mechanics), transportation engineering (which involves designing and managing transportation systems), environmental engineering (which addresses pollution control and sustainable resource management), and water resources engineering (which focuses on water supply, flood control, and hydrology). Overall, civil engineering plays a crucial role in shaping the physical infrastructure of societies and ensuring their long-term sustainability and resilience.

  The Wonders of Radium by Maynard Shipley is a captivating scientific exploration of one of the most fascinating discoveries of the early 20th century. Written in a time of scientific revolution, this work explains the origin, nature, and wide-ranging applications of radium, a radioactive element famously discovered by Marie and Pierre Curie. Shipley skillfully translates complex scientific principles into accessible language, detailing radium's powerful effects—from revolutionizing medical treatments, such as early cancer therapies, to its curious industrial and agricultural uses. 
  With a mix of scientific rigor and wonder, Shipley delves into the processes of radioactive decay, the extraction of radium from ores, and the element’s role in estimating the age of the Earth. Readers will find insights into the cultural and scientific impact of radium, a substance once seen as miraculous and later viewed with more caution. This is a snapshot of a pivotal moment in scientific history, capturing humanity’s fascination with atomic energy before its darker implications were fully realized.

  Cognitive Shortcuts That Mislead...

  This book consists of two titles, which are: 
  - The Confirmation Bias: Confirmation bias is a cognitive phenomenon that plays a significant role in shaping our beliefs and perceptions. It refers to the tendency of individuals to search for, interpret, and remember information in a way that confirms their preexisting beliefs or theories, while disregarding or minimizing evidence that contradicts those beliefs. This bias is not limited to any particular field or context and can influence people in a variety of ways, from politics and religion to personal relationships and health decisions. 
  - The Representativeness Heuristic: At its core, the representativeness heuristic simplifies decision-making by allowing individuals to rely on surface-level similarities rather than delving into deeper, more complex analyses. For example, if someone observes a well-dressed, articulate individual discussing financial markets, they might assume the person is a financial expert, even without any concrete evidence. This judgment stems from the resemblance of the observed traits to the prototype of a financial expert. However, such assumptions often overlook critical information, such as actual expertise or experience.
