Mechanics of Pre-industrial Technology
First general account of the mechanics behind pre-industrial technology, combining the skills of an engineer and an archaeologist.
Fracture and Life
This book is an interdisciplinary review of the effect of fracture on life, following the development of the understanding of fracture written from a historical perspective. After a short introduction to fracture, the first section of the book covers the effects of fracture on the evolution of the Earth, plants and animals, and man. The second section of the book covers the largely empirical control of fracture from ancient times to the end of the nineteenth century. The final section reviews the development of fracture theory as a discipline and its application during the twentieth century through to the present time.
Physics And Culture
The role of physics in our culture is examined from the time of Newton to the present day. It has three parts: an introduction to physics and two parts covering the roles of Newtonian and Modern/Postmodern physics. It is shown how popularization enabled physics to become part of our culture, while the topics discussed include religion, philosophy, politics, literature, the visual arts, and music. An underlying theme is that physics is an intimate part of our culture which, together with the other sciences, has had a wide general influence that cannot be ignored. The book has been written for all that are genuinely interested in culture. It is well referenced and illustrated, and suitable for...
Science and Technology of Zirconia V
This book is based on the Fifth International Conference that was held on 16-21 August, 1992 in Melbourne, Australia, in conjunction with AUSTCERAM 92. It demonstrates that the field of Zirconia ceramics remains one of scientific challenge and technical attraction.

Road To Scientific Success, The: Inspiring Life Stories Of Prominent Researchers (Volume 3)
The book is unique in its emphasis on the road to scientific success rather than the science itself. Scientists communicate much on their science through research publications, but they tend to talk much less, if at all, on the challenges encountered on the road to success. Information on the road to scientific success is helpful to people that are considering embarking on the journey on this road or are in the middle of the journey on this road. These people need inspiration and encouragement. Unless the information is recorded, it would be lost.The objectives of this book series are to:
Fracture Research in Retrospect
This book describes the historical development of the engineering discipline of fracture mechanics from early times to the scientific treatment of the subject in the 20th century. Most papaers do not require a mathematical background to understand them.

Understanding Chipped Stone Tools
This is a unique and engaging book on prehistoric stone tools. It advocates an experiential approach in which analysts try to understand stone tool designs from the users' perspectives, and employs a universal logic of designing tools to solve practical problems and evaluating various possible solutions. However, to do so it is also necessary to understand how stone can be mechanically modified to serve specific functions. The author enlists a rich array of ethnographic observations and considerable background as a flintknapper to show the basic ways in which stones can be flaked and modified and what these characteristics can reveal about prehistoric problem-solving strategies and design constraints. This is an invaluable primer for anyone contemplating the study of prehistoric stone tools."
