Rough Surfaces, 2nd Edition
This book is intended for scientists and engineers who need to know about surface roughness, how to measure and describe it and what practical problems it might cause them. The original Rough Surfaces was widely accepted as the definitive work on the subject; this is a completely new edition, updated to take account of recent major advances in measurement and characterisation. Modern instruments are introduced, including laser interferometers and AFM's, and there are sections on fractals and motif analysis. Problems of 3D surface measurement and description are extensively treated. Manufacturing and production engineers, optical and QC engineers, tribologists and many other applied scientists will find this book an essential addition to their libraries.
Machines Advances and Trends in Non-conventional, Abrasive and Precision Machining
The work included in this book pertains to advanced abrasive and nonconventional machining processes. These processes are at the forefront of modern technology, with significant practical significance. Their importance is also made clear by the case studies that are included in the research that is presented in the book, pertaining to important materials and high-end applications. However, the particularities of these manufacturing processes need to be further investigated and the processes themselves need to be optimized. This is conducted in the presented works with significant experimental and modeling work, incorporating modern tools of analysis and measurements.

The Measurement of Environmental and Resource Values
Non-market valuation is becoming increasingly accepted as an evaluative tool of economics related to environmental and resource protection. Freeman (economics, Bowdoin College) presents an overview of the literature, introducing the principal methods and techniques of resource valuation. Chapters cover the measurement of welfare changes, revealed and stated preference models, nonuse models, aggregation of values across time, environmental quality as factor input, longevity and health valuation, property value models, hedonic wage models, and recreational uses of natural resource systems.
