Explosives by Meyer, Kohler, Homburg

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51AanqhbVnL.jpg

Review
'... This book may, perhaps, be considered as an encyclopedia of explosives. It lists virtually all known explosives. Some are described in considerable detail, while others are simply listed. Many formulation and composition generalities are given. However, it is not a recipe book for someone wanting to make an explosive ... . The book should be a valuable addition to any technical library.'
(Industrial Chemist)

'... The audience for this book would be anyone needing fundamental information on individual explosives. The descriptions and the illustrations are quite clear and in many cases were checked for accuracy by the manufacturer.'
(ARBA)

'... This wealth of information and an index that comprises some 1500 keywords and several conversion tables make this a unique source of knowledge for anybody working with explosives.'
(Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics)

'... The objective of the book is to provide fundamental information on explosives to both the experts and the general public, making it of use to anybody working with explosives in the civil and military fields'
(Mining Engineering)

Book Description
This world-famous work has been enlarged and updated without tampering with its tried and tested format. Around 500 alphabetically ordered, monographic entries consider the physicochemical properties, production methods and safe applications of over 120 explosive chemicals, while discussing 70 fuels, additives and oxidizing agents and describing the relevant test methods.

The extensive thermodynamic data has been thoroughly updated and now also provided on a CD-ROM compiled by the Fraunhofer Institute of Chemical Technology. This excerpt from the ICT Thermodynamical Database not only includes additional thermodynamic data, and references to further reading, but also features enhanced search facilities.

Other key features include a 1,500-entry combined index and glossary with terms and abbreviations in English, French and German, conversion tables and numerous literature references.

A handy reference for explosive experts and also for translators, public authorities and patent lawyers.

From reviews of previous editions:
"...This wealth of information and an index that comprises some 1500 keywords and several conversion tables make this a unique source of knowledge for anybody working with explosives."
Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics

The Isaac Newton School of Driving: Physics and Your Car

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51E1BFJXJQL.jpg

Review

"Parker grew up a mechanic's son and is as comfortable discussing gear sets and weight transfer as he is explaining the formula for determining the force of drag on a vehicle at any given speed. You don't need to be an engineer to read and enjoy Parker's often entertaining book that covers everything from the basics of engines and electronics to crashes and congestion. And after learning about Wd=Fh/R, you will likely be a better driver. RATING: Three and 1/2 [out of four] helmets." -- Larry Edsall, Autoweek

"Parker's entertaining book is not a heavy tome replete with complex mathematical formulas -- nothing more complex than high school physics. What The Isaac Newton School of Driving answers is the annoying complaint every teacher or parent hears from a teenager: 'I'll never use all this (insert expletive) in real life!'." -- Terry Jackson, AMI Auto World Magazine

"Contains examples of practical technology that would certainly enhance and extend many courses... written in a lighthearted manner that is successful and appealing." -- Hal Harris, 21 C: Scanning the Future

"A comprehensive look at the fundamental elements of the driving experience... The author enlivens many difficult concepts with clear, comfortable explanations... Whether a reader is looking for simple applications or the physics of high performance racing vehicles, this book will make any reader pause and think about the science of their car and driving." -- Charles James, National Science Teachers Association Recommends

"Barry Parker has written an intriguing book... The Isaac Newton School of Driving has a definite flair and keeps the reader interested." -- Henry J. P. Smith, Industrial Physicist

"The discussions are clear and the physics is correct." -- Choice

Review

"Parker writes with authority and humor about the expensive machines none of us can survive without for long. For high-school students Ph.D.'s, and anyone who wants to know how cars really work, this is an excellent book." -- Paul J. Nahin, author of Oliver Heaviside: The Life, Work, and Times of an Electrical Genius of the Victorian Age

"At last, a book about cars that goes beyond the usual basics and right into the heart of the matter. Barry Parker lucidly covers an impressive range of topics related to cars and driving, from engines and aerodynamics to traffic jams and futuristic trends. In it I learned more about my own vehicle than by reading the owner's manual! This book will surely find a wide audience." -- Alain Haché, author of The Physics of Hockey

"The Isaac Newton School of Driving has provided a wonderful overview of all the things that have to happen to get you there and back again safely. From the intricacies of the internal combustion engine to the dangers of head to head collisions, Barry Parker provides a great resource for automobile fans who want to understand science, and vice versa." -- Alan C. Tribble, author of A Tribble's Guide to Space

AutoCAD Secrets Every User Should Know

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51fqkI7gEOL.jpg

Book Description
"I've been using AutoCAD for 22 years and have written a hundred books on the subject. I reviewed many CAD books back in the days when book reviews were common in CAD publications; some were innovative, others were just sad. But for nearly a decade, it's been mostly silence on the book review front. Then earlier in the summer, a book arrived in the mail from Sybex: AutoCAD Secrets Every User Should Know by Dan Abbott. Reading it, I got excited: here's a book for every AutoCAD user, even old-timers like me." - Ralph Grabowski, Editor, upFront.eZine.com: The Business of CAD

Learn the "why" behind the "how" in this one-of-a-kind reference packed with tips and techniques from award-winning AutoCAD expert Dan Abbott. This info-packed guide reveals some of the best kept AutoCAD secrets on technical standards, AutoLISP programming, DOS functions, scripts, 3D, and everything in between. Based on his popular "Things Every AutoCAD User Should Know" session at Autodesk University and other industry events, Dan gives you the answers to frequently asked AutoCAD questions in his direct and entertaining style while using real-world case studies to put your skills into practice.
