Engineering the Odds: A Review of Paul Lawrence’s Monday’s Edition

Lawrence uses this premise to explore a deeply American anxiety: the belief that intelligence, preparation, and technology can conquer any system. Martin is not a gambler by temperament; he is an engineer who approached gambling as a problem to be solved.

The Anatomy of Environmental Acedia: MacQuarrie on the Spiritual Roots of Climate Inaction

“Think Like a Molecule,” by Chuck Champlin, Finding Human Potential in the Physics of Existence — at the California Library Association Conference in Riverside, California

Canoga, CA — In a cosmos governed by the laws of chemistry and physics, a single molecule doesn’t pause to contemplate its purpose. It simply exists, following the timeless rules of attraction, bonding, and structure.

From basic chemical bonds emerges the vast tapestry of humanity—eight billion conscious minds capable of a

Canoga Park, CA — In a world brought to its knees by an indiscriminate viral outbreak, "Deadly Ground" by Thomas plunges readers into a stark dystopian nightmare where survival requires navigating a treacherous, lawless landscape.
