Twenty Seconds to Midnight
Each year the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists sets the Doomsday Clock after consultation with its board of sponsors, which includes nine winners of the Nobel Prize. The clock is a universally recognized indicator of the world’s vulnerability to global catastrophe brought about by man-made technologies.
On January 29, 2025, the Atomic Scientists shifted the clock’s hands to 89 seconds to midnight, citing the combined threats of climate change, nuclear war, and misuse of artificial intelligence.
Working at a point in the future, Nobel Prize-winning scientist Dr. Clare McGarrity has developed a formula making the Mojave Desert in Death Valley bloom. She has been tasked with trying to expand and refine her formula for use in the great Sahara Desert with the goal of helping feed the starving people of Africa and soon, the Middle East.
Unknown to her, the research assistant working beside her is a terrorist, ordered by his government to steal her formula.

Odyssey of a Street
The Cardo book is a thriller intended for the lecture of students passionate about architecture, archaeology, and history that challenges and teaches. It is a provocation to confront riddles of town planning and history that lie in front of us, but one didn’t dare to “lift the glove’.
When an ancient game was discovered chiseled on one of the Cardo pavement stones, it was only the start of a whodunit. Only more archaeological diggings (11 pits on the 180-meter length of the street) brought up the solution three years later.
But why didn’t the archaeologists find any Roman remnants?
Here we direct the stage limelight on Justinianus, emperor of Byzantium, an ebullient personality and passionate builder.
The mistrust of the archaeologists in the vision of the architects dissipated, and it turned out to be a fruitful collaboration that went on for 12 years: a real odyssey of a discovery.
The book, which is richly illustrated and narrated by the leader of a team of architects that won the first prize in a national competition for the renewal of a part of the Jewish Quarter in 1971, teaches not only historical periods of the developments of Jerusalem through the ages but also touches on the architectural dilemmas of how to rebuild and integrate into part of the historical city of Jerusalem after the Six-Day War period.

Dying Is a Journey, Living Is a Privilege
After receiving his terminal cancer diagnosis, Gary F. Kelly wanted to prepare for dying and find meaning in the experience. His memoir recounts his journey from the initial visit to see his doctor about some unusual discomfort and fatigue through his days of hospice care to the death that he imagines. He shares his gratitude when a compassionate nurse squeezes his hand as a needle is inserted into his liver and his anguish when his difficulty swallowing makes eating and drinking nearly impossible.
Kelly cherishes the comforting family rituals of Thanksgiving and Christmas, marks such milestones as no longer being able to drive, and records the uncertain rhythms of terminal illness as new cancer sites appear, symptoms multiply, and the debilitating effects of treatment increase.
Along this journey of dying, he wrestles with: What can he learn? Can he find meaning and value in dying comparable to that which he found in living? How does he face the end of life with dignity and grace? As a therapist says to him, “Dying is hard work.”

The Unkindness of Ravens
In 1846, seventeen-year-old midwife’s assistant Caitlin Nee lives on a tenant farm with her family in County Galway, Ireland. She has two great ambitions: to become a wise woman like her mentor Bridie and to win the heart of handsome, mercurial Liam O’Shea. Then one night an unsettling dream about ravens—harbingers of death—proves prescient when a potato blight turns her halcyon world into a living nightmare. Starvation, sickness and loss will soon become a daily reality, and no one is spared from horrific events and heartbreaking choices. Caitlin’s own family—romantic Orla, proud Seamus, pious Colin, fey Mary, and her Mam and Da—will all be tested by the devastating Great Hunger.
The Nees, like many other Irish families, work hardscrabble land for the imperious Lord Wentworth. They live in constant fear not only of dying from want but also of being evicted from their cabins if they can’t pay the rent. For the landlord, hunger and poverty are the fault of the victims rather than neglect and inadequate relief measures on the part of the government. After accidentally hearing a conversation at Wentworth Hall, Caitlin is made aware of the cruel indifference of His Lordship that will result in tumbled homes and mass graves throughout his estate. Will her family suffer a similar fate?
Despite all of the sorrow and devastation around them, love grows ever stronger between Caitlin and Liam. They make plans for a future life together once the famine is over. But when tragedy and rebellion force Liam to emigrate to America, Caitlin must decide whether to stay in Ireland or to follow her heart.
Based on contemporary anecdotes, The Unkindness of Ravens: A Tale of the Great Irish Famine tells the story of a disastrous historical event through the eyes of a strong-willed young lass who embodies the resilience of the Irish spirit.
