For the past forty years Beer and Johnston have been the uncontested leaders in the teaching of undergraduate engineering mechanics. Their careful presentation of content, unmatched levels of accuracy, and attention to detail have made their texts the standard for excellence. The revision of their classic Mechanics of Materials text features a new and updated design and art program; almost every homework problem is new or revised; and extensive content revisions and text reorganizations have been made.
This book is a very interesting cross-over between the more-or-less standard casebook and the textbook. The division of material is also interesting as a whole the book would make an excellent basis for a course. -- Jane Henderman, Kings College, University of London.
In this book, the authors have compiled a selection of materials on the law of contract consisting of case law, statutory material and academic commentary which will assist students in this subject at both degree level and higher non-degree level. It is hoped that the selection of materials and accompanying text will permit an appreciation of the key issues relevant to the study of this branch of the law.
The editor offers scientists, engineers, academia, and others interested in adhesives, coatings,elastomers, inks, plastics, and textiles a valuable communication tool within this book In addition, the more recent innovations and biocompatible polymers andadhesives productshave necessitated inclusion into any lexicon that addresses polymeric materials. Communication among scientific and engineering personnel has always been of critical importance, and as in any technical field, the terms and descriptions of materials and processes lag the availability of a manual or handbook that would benefit individuals working and studying in scientific and engineering disciplines. There is often a challenge when conveying an idea from one individual to another due to its complexity, and sometimes even the pronunciation of a word is different not only in different countries, but also in industries.

You're an educator, not a psychic, so how would you know how to use Blackboard with no instructions? These step-by-step examples show you how to set up a Blackboard classroom, put your materials on the Internet, communicate online with students, and even evaluate their performance.
Learning Science these days is much more about solving practical problems by doing investigations. At the same time, there is much less emphasis at the early stages on acquiring specialist knowledge than there used to be. This book sets out to help top primary and lower secondary pupils learn the skills of practical investigation, whilst minimising the teachers’ need to collect, prepare or purchase materials, a job which takes up more time and resources than most teachers can reasonably spare at present. The double-page ‘self-teaching’ units take one skill or topic at a time, and use only the kind of materials you could find in any classroom or home. Childrens’ immediate surroundings are made use of wherever possible.
