Engineered Stability
How long have composites been around? Where does the classical laminate theory come from? Who made the first modern fiber composite? This work in the history of materials science is the first examination of the strategies employed in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in researching and developing hybrid materials. The author analyzes numerous sources which record a regular back and forth between applied design and exploratory materials engineering in building such “modular materials”. The motivations, ideas, and concepts of engineers, scientists, and other players in industry and research are also examined within the context of their day. This book presents the development and impor...
Between Making And Knowing: Tools In The History Of Materials Research
This book is indexed in Chemical Abstracts ServiceThis book offers a comprehensive sketch of the tools used in material research and the rich and diverse stories of how those tools came to be. We aim to give readers a sense of what tools materials researchers required in the late 20th century, and how those tools were developed and became accessible. The book is in a sense a collective biography of the components of what the philosopher of science, Ian Hacking, calls the 'instrumentarium' of materials research. Readers should gain an appreciation of the work materials researchers put into developing and using such tools, and of the tremendous variety of such tools. They should also gain some insight into the material (and hence financial) prerequisites for materials research. Materials research requires funding for the availability and maintenance of its tools; and the category of tools encompasses a broad range of substances, apparatus, institutions, and infrastructure.Between Nature and Society: Biographies of Materials (Part of A World Scientific Encyclopedia of the Development and History of Materials Science)
Systems Engineering & Management
Dieses Buch zeigt Schritt für Schritt, wie man technische Systeme effizient und effektiv entwickelt, realisiert (Engineering) und betreibt (Administration). Dazu wird zunächst erklärt, wie komplexe reale Systeme vereinfacht, also modelliert werden, um ihre relevanten Eigenschaften sichtbar zu machen. Dies erfolgt interdisziplinär, indem neben technologischen auch soziologische und psychologische Aspekte berücksichtigt werden. Anschließend werden fünf allgemeingültige Vorgehensmodelle erläutert, die ausreichen, um Systeme in allen ihren Lebensphasen zu gestalten und zu lenken. Schließlich wird der Problemlösungszyklus im Detail erläutert. Für jede Phase einer Entwicklung wird erk...

Love, Freedom Or Death
It all started with a promise to a girl he hardly knew... Love, Freedom or Death is a love story set against the resistance struggle in Crete during World War 2. Inspired by true events, it follows impetuous young Dudley Watkins, a New Zealand Sergeant, as he journeys from the disillusionment of defeat in the battle of Crete to the willingness to risk all for the island he has come to love. Love, Freedom or Death tells of a man who kept his promises, but in doing so drove others to break theirs, a man who fought to make the Cretan dream of freedom a reality and a man who falls out with his British masters while falling in love with an unattainable woman. Reminiscent of Captain Corelli’s Mandolin, John Bishop’s novel is a powerful story of love and betrayal.
The Recorder
A Choice "Best Academic" book in its first edition, The Recorder remains an essential resource for anyone who wants to know about this instrument.
