The New Science of Strong Materials or Why You Don't Fall through the Floor (Princeton Science Library)

10 reviews
J. E. Gordon

Princeton University Press, 2006

A great book, but buy "Structures" instead
This book is part of the Princeton Science Library, the best collection of books on mathematics and science for the intelligent layman. Like other books in that series, it is succinct and clearly written. I read it and thoroughly enjoyed it. All of the positive reader reviews are right on. Because I liked it so much, I purchased "Structures," also by Professor Gordon. As it turned out, that ...

Excellent book on finite element method
This book walks the reader through the finite element (FE) method step by step. It is a very good introductory book and focuses on the Galerkin method of weighted residuals. I do wish that there was a hardback version.

Control System Design Guide, Third Edition: Using Your Computer to Understand and Diagnose Feedback ...

13 reviews
George Ellis

Academic Press, 2004

Great way to get an alternative view on controls
Ellis has made a fantastic book on PID and similar control loops. He takes a very different tact than most controls books -- he writes with a voice similar to a handbook, but delivers enough content to compete with more traditional textbook-style controls books. It is light on the math in comparison, but I don't find myself wanting for more math. I do a lot of controls design, consulting, and ...

Archaeological monitoring of the St. Peter street floodgates project, Orleans Parish, Louisiana: Final report ...

M. K Shuman

available from the National Technical Information Service, 1992

The best book about love
Rhonda Britten just gets it. This book is so wonderful. She can guide you along your path to loving in a way you never thought you could, but always wanted to. The most poignant truth for me is that everyone is innocent. That's so hard to think and act on, but she's so right about it. I would have everyone believe me innocent until proven guily, so it only seems fair for me to believe that about ...

Egan

McGraw Hill Higher Education, 2003

Use This Book!
Since first encountering Egan's text a little more than 20 years ago, I've continued to return to it for solid information. Complex material is presented in a way that allows me to apply it to unique conditions at hand. Some of the world-class acoustics consultants with which we've had the privilege to work rely on Egan to help communicate complex ideas. Without compromising too much real ...

American Society of Civil Engineers, 2000

The Miracle of Machu Picchu
The story of Machu Picchu is a tribute to the prehistoric Native Americans who planned and built this mystical mountaintop royal estate for Emperor Pachacuti between AD 1450 and 1540. The authors have, at last, defined for scientists and layman alike what makes Machu Picchu such a beautiful and special place: the innumerable details of Machu Picchu, when combined into a whole, create a visual ...

Aquifer Hydraulics
Great Book! A book for all hydrogeologists and environmental professionals. I found this book well planned and organized. The information was presented simply and straight forward.

National Geographic Satellite Atlas Of The World (National Geographic)

National Geographic Society

National Geographic, 1998

My number one possession
The National Geographic Satellite Atlas of the World, is a must own for anyone with any amount of interest in geography. Satellite imagery itself is still relatively new, and so the imediate impact of these pictures on a viewer is overwhelming. To look at these images and realize that this one of the many views from space is mystifying. But thats not the only reason to look at these pictures. ...

5 reviews
Richard M. Barker, Jay A. Puckett

Wiley-Interscience, 1997

An excellant text on bridge engineering using LRFD.
Our office found this to be the best, and most comprehensive reference on the new LRFD Specification available. The design examples set this book apart from other references. They are as complete as any we have found. While our interest sprang from our need to learn the LRFD specification, we found that the book is a valuable tool for bridge engineering in general. Most of the designers in ...

Biofilms II: Process Analysis and Applications

6 reviews

Wiley-Liss, 2000

A new light for Biofilms
This amazing new book opens a new doorway to biofilms for me. An excellent book, with new technological ideas that other books leave out. If bacteria could read they'd be breathless, which they are anyway for they don't have any mitochondria. Can't wait for the movie!

Mcgraw-Hill College, 1995

Wonderful reference book
I use this book for my primary text in a Business and Professional Communication class that I teach. The students like how the book is organized; I appreciate the examples that we can use in class for discussion. Beyond that, the AIDA approach to business writing is clear and easy to use once students get the hang of it. My students' major project is to work with an organization in solving a ...

The Most Connon typ of Construction
Now in it's sixth edition, this book has become the standard text on the design and construction of buildings made of wood. While most wooden structures are residences, the book also covers multi story wooden structures such as apartment houses, commercial buildings with wooden roofs, and to a limited extent newer techniques such as glue-laminate beams. The book is suitable for use either as a ...

Structural Concrete: Theory and Design

6 reviews
M. Nadim Hassoun, Akthem Al-Manaseer

Wiley, 2005

Must have for learning concrete design.
While struggling to understand fundamental concepts during concrete design, this textbook came through like a hero. One classmate bought the book, then four other students (the "brightest")in the class bought it. Let's just say, it really is that good. The examples were clear and logical. The book works well enough to self-teach.
