I’ve recently finished The Great Courses’ series entitled Epic Engineering Failures and the Lessons They Teach, taught by my favorite instructor, Professor Stephen Ressler.  Unlike my previous review of his course on Greek and Roman Technology, I think for this review, I will just summarize a few of my favorite lessons.

As I have become in recent years “a woman of a certain age,” it seems more important than ever to exercise my brain and keep learning new things. To that end, I try to read interesting and possibly useful non-fiction books in amongst my steady diet of fiction.
