The Mechanical Universe: Introduction to Mechanics and Heat

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Olenick, Richard / Apostol, Tom M. / Goodstein, David L., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This important textbook is based on, though independent of, an educational TV series to be broadcast on public television in the United States. Its aim is to guide students and general readers to an understanding of how the physical world works; physics is presented as a human endeavour, with historical development forming a thread throughout the text. The prerequisites are minimal, only basic algebra and trigonometry since the necessary calculus is developed in the text, with physics providing the motivation. New concepts are introduced at the natural, logical point with many historical references to place physics in a social perspective. Many topics from twentieth-century physics are included, for example energy, low temperature physics, relativity and black holes. The book is attractively and profusely illustrated and will be welcomed by students and also by general readers for whom this will be a stimulating alternative to other, less-thorough treatments.

Seismic Methods and Applications: A Guide for the Detection

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Stark, Andreas, PUBLISHER: Brown Walker Press (FL), This book has been written for those who need a solid understanding of the seismic exploration method without difficult mathematics. It is presented in a format that allows one to naturally progress from the underlying physical principles to the actual seismic method. The mathematics needed for the subject is kept as simple as possible; students only need high school physics and mathematics to thoroughly grasp the principles covered. Dr. Stark has developed this text and honed its content with feedback from hundreds of students over nearly two decades of teaching seismic exploration geophysics. This textbook will teach students the principles for the detection of geologic structures, earthquake zones and hazards, resource exploration, and geotechnical engineering.

Error and Inference: Recent Exchanges on Experimental

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mayo, Deborah G. / Spanos, Aris, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, Although both philosophers and scientists are interested in how to obtain reliable knowledge in the face of error, there is a gap between their perspectives that has been an obstacle to progress. By means of a series of exchanges between the editors and leaders from philosophy of science, statistics, and economics, this volume offers a cumulative introduction connecting problems of traditional philosophy of science to problems of inference in statistical and empirical modeling practice. Philosophers of science and scientific practitioners are challenged to reevaluate the assumptions of their own theories - philosophical or methodological. Practitioners may better appreciate the foundational issues around which their questions revolve and thereby become better "applied philosophers." Conversely, new avenues emerge for finally solving recalcitrant philosophical problems of induction, explanation, and theory testing.

Featuring an introduction by Tom Peters, the undisputed leader on the subject, "Innovation" brands the BusinessMasters series for immediate recognition.

One Step at a Time: The Staged Development of Geologic

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: National Research Council / Committee on Principles and Operational Strategies for Stage, PUBLISHER: National Academies Press, Compared to other large engineering projects, geologic repositories for high-level waste present distinctive challenges because: 1) they are first-of-a-kind, complex, and long-term projects that must actively manage hazardous materials for many decades: 2) they are expected to hold these hazardous materials passively safe for many millennia after repository closure; and 3) they are widely perceived to pose serious risks. As is the case for other complex projects, repository programs should proceed in stages. "One Step at a Time focuses on a management approach called "adaptive staging" as a promising means to develop geologic repositories for high-level radioactive waste such as the proposed repository at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. Adaptive staging is a learn-as-you-go process that enables project managers to continuously reevaluate and adjust the program in response to new knowledge and stakeholder input. Advice is given on how to implement staging during the construction, operation, closure, and post-closure phases of a repository program.

Structural Concrete Structural Concrete: Theory and Design

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hassoun, Nadim M. / Hassoun, M. Nadim, PUBLISHER: Prentice Hall, Revised to adhere to the latest American Concrete Institute (ACI) Code requirements for the design of structural concrete. Presenting the analysis and design of both reinforced and prestressed concrete elements, Structural Concrete is exceptionally logical and easy to read. Accuracy of calculations (Section 1.11) helps readers understand the accuracy of calculations in engineering design. Additional examples elaborate on the behavior of reinforced concrete beams at failure and combine structural analysis with concrete design. Section on Coulomb theory for soil pressure provides an alternative approach to calculate the soil pressure considering the friction of soil on retaining walls. Section on partially prestressed concrete explains the range of partial prestressing between a lower limit of reinforced concrete and an upper limit of full prestressing. In-depth treatment of the ultimate strength concept of reinforced concrete explains the concept of concrete beams behavior up to failure with mathematical analysis of forces developed in concrete and steel. Discusses the design of different types of stairs and the design of curved beams.
