Engineering and Its Dangers

I originally constructed this web site primarily
for the benefit of the students in my classes at San Francisco State
University, from which I am now retired. (I am currently a research
professor at the Institute for World Religions in Berkeley, California.)
I am leaving the site online in the hope that people will still find
it to be useful. All of the material is copyrighted. Permission is
