Over the Next Hill by Charlie Hull Price verified 15 minutes ago

Have you ever wondered, "Just what is over the next hill?" As Charlie traveled around the United States, Spain, Rome, and Australia, he wondered the same thing--so he looked. And then he wrote about what he found, in this collection of true short stories. From truck driver to tourist, Charlie experienced a variety of traveling encounters and wrote about them, along with hints for travelers that will make their experiences less frustrating and more enjoyable. For instance, what does one do when in a foreign country in which he does not speak the language and is trying to buy a bus ticket from a ticket agent who refuses to issue him a ticket? Or what about the time an elderly woman comes up and simply starts yelling? And just what is a backpacker's hostel? Is it better than a hotel? Is it cheaper? Also, have you ever considered umbrella wars?

Tripping Over Engineering: Going Nuclear: Exploring the Birth of the Atomic Age by Lindsey Bredemeyer (36 Reviews)    Price verified 8 hours ago

How would you like to actually see the dark secrets of the US nuclear weapons program. Stand on the site of the first nuclear reactor (CP-1). Stand in the control room of the first continuous operating reactor (X-10). Stand at the loading face of the first production reactor (Hanford B) that produced plutonium for the first atomic detonation and many of the 60,000 US nuclear weapons produced. Walk through USS Nautilus, the first nuclear submarine, which changed the entire concept of warfare at sea. The story of US nuclear weapons often focuses on the physicists delving into new aspects of their science. But how much engineering effort and expense was spent on producing the isotopes, building the weapons and putting them on target. Nuclear medicine, the space program, the rapid development of jet aircraft, the human genome project are all progeny of the nuclear age. All had some relationship with the desire to produce and deliver nuclear weapons. Besides technical progress, the nuclear age also redefined the world socially and culturally. This engineering deserves more than a footnote in history. It deserves to be seen. Until you can go, get on the bus with me, I saved you a seat.
