In 2013 I had the opportunity to visit Preston, England, the site of the last battle in England. During the Jacobite Uprising of 1715, Captain Peter Farquharson had been shot in the knee. He was taken to the White Bull Inn, where it was decided that his leg should be amputated. He requested a glass of brandy and said "Come lads, here is our master's health; though I can do no more, I wish you good success." I walked through the streets trying to imagine the setting 300 years earlier. I found the current version of the White Bull Inn and drank a brandy to the memory of Peter Farquharson, John Farquharson (the Clan Chief), and all the Farquharsons and their Highland Clansmen that took part in the Uprising of 1715. When I returned from my trip, I read as much as I could about this Uprising. Most books barely mention the participation of our clan. I thought it worthwhile to summarize their important role as the 300th anniversary neared. This book is the result.

This report from the second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2), which is administered by the Transportation Research Board of the National Academies, presents evaluations of the capability of portable spectroscopy devices to “fingerprint” typical construction materials. The spectroscopy devices are evaluated in laboratory conditions as well as in the field to verify material-testing method combinations found successful. The report also documents simple, easy-to-use nondestructive testing procedures for use in the field to ensure quality construction.
