[close] A reading group for all interested students, alumni, faculty, and staff at Clemson University, for all on campus, abroad, or away; German classics, generally related to the literature, history, and philosophy of German-speaking countries. Readings in German or English, discussions in English. I found theGerman edition on AbeBooks for about $14, the English edition is generally available (also at Abe Books) in print or as an eBook.

[close] The goal of this group is to read, discuss, and recommend books with engineering themes. It is not meant to be a strictly technical forum. It can include both fiction and nonfiction. Examples of fiction could be such books as "Chase the Wind" by E. V. Thompson, "Engineered for Murder" by Aileen Schumacher, "Discussion of the Method" by Billy Vaughn Coen,and "The Ghost of the Executed Engineer" by Loren Graham. In short, it is meant to look at engineering and technical themes in the context of literature, society, and philosophy. [close]
