Tim wants to be a civil engineer. In this zesty, fast-paced, often hilarious book, Tim offers a series of stories that relate (if only remotely) to his quest to fulfill this lifelong dream! These stories are often funny, toilety, boogery, and everything in-between. You'll laugh at some of these face-crackingly outrageous stories of childhood (and adulthood) mischief and the inner workings of a man who has lived his life on the edge!

The works presented in this volume, in a new English translation, are among the most important and characteristic texts of the Enlightenment, and bring together all three aspects of Voltaire: the writer, the doer and the philosophe. Originating in Voltaire's campaign to exonerate Jean Calas, they are works of polemical brilliance, informed by his deism and humanism and by Enlightenment values and ideals more generally. The issues that they raise, concerning questions of tolerance and human dignity, are still highly relevant to our own times.
