With more than 150 photographs including Hubble All-Stars—the most famous of all the noteworthy images— The Hubble Cosmos shows how this telescope is revolutionizing our understanding of the universe. ROBERT P. KIRSHNER, Clowes Professor of Science in the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics at Harvard University, accomplished groundbreaking work on supernovas and the expansion of the universe using the Hubble Space Telescope.

The visual clues by which an experienced pilot unconsciously judges: how you can quickly learn to use them. A foolproof method of making a landing approach across pole lines and trees. The role of ailerons, rudder, and elevator in making a turn. A strong advocacy of the tricycle gear written at a time when almost all civil airplanes were taildraggers. His analyses of aviation's safety problems have deeply influenced pilots and aeronautical engineers and have contributed to the benign characteristics of today's airplane. Stick and Rudder is the first exact analysis of the art of flying ever attempted. Today several excellent manuals offer the pilot accurate and valuable technical information. But Stick and Rudder remains the leading think-book on the art of flying. The visual clues by which an experienced pilot unconsciously judges: how you can quickly learn to use them. A foolproof method of making a landing approach across pole lines and trees. A strong advocacy of the tricycle gear written at a time when almost all civil airplanes were taildraggers. His analyses of aviation's safety problems have deeply influenced pilots and aeronautical engineers and have contributed to the benign characteristics of today's airplane. STICK AND RUDDER is the first exact analysis of the art of flying ever attempted. It has been continously in print for thirty-three years, and has enjoyed steadily increasing sales. Flight instructors have found that the book does indeed explain important phases of the art of flying, in a way the learner can use. When STICK AND RUDDER first came out, some of its contents were considered highly controversial. Today several excellent manuals offer the pilot accurate and valuable technical information.

It explains how each of the vehicle's three stages worked; Boeing's S-IC first stage with a power output as great as the UK's peak electricity consumption, North American Aviation's S-II troubled second stage, Douglas's workhorse S-IVB third stage with its instrument unit brain - as much a spacecraft as a rocket. David Woods turned his boyhood fascination with Apollo into a lifelong passion.

Even more useful specs, including tap drill sizes for Unified threads, reaming allowances for drilling, mesh and grit sizes, rules for figuring tapers, and assembly with pins and studs. Recently added information on sheet metal and presses, keys and keyways, shaft alignment, taps and tapping, helical coil screw thread inserts, metric screw threads, miniature screws, fluid mechanics, solid geometry, statistics, calculating hole coordinates and thread dimensions, and distinguishing between bolts and screws. Many thoroughly reworked and renovated sections throughout. Hundreds of new and thousands of refined and redone illustrations and equations. The standard reference for mechanical engineers, designers, manufacturing engineers, draftsmen, toolmakers, and machinists, revised, expanded, and updated from the 23d edition of 1988.

Introduction to Chemical Engineering Thermodynamics , 7/e, presents comprehensive coverage of the subject of thermodynamics from a chemical engineering viewpoint. After teaching for over 28 years in the City University of New York, Demodar N. Gujarati is currently professor of Economics at the Department of Social Sciences US Military Academy in West Point, New York.

The 23rd edition of Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater(R) contains over 400 laboratory methods for the analysis of. Dissolved Solids. Laboratories worldwide rely on this comprehensive reference as the trusted source of accurate, proven methodology for analysis of water, water supplies, and wastewater. The methods in the 23rd edition (as in previous editions) are believed to be the best available, generally accepted procedures for analyzing water, wastewater, and related materials. Standard Methods is also offered as a subscription service, which includes all the new, revised, and USEPA-approved methods that are full-text searchable, a discussion group and news about the book, its methods and the oversight board.

This prep course provides expert instruction, a structured syllabus, PPI's #1 selling review materials, and convenient online viewing from the comfort of home or on the go. The extensive index contains thousands of entries, with multiple entries included for each topic, so you can find the topics referenced no matter how you search. Civil Breadth: Project Planning; Means and Methods; Soil Mechanics; Structural Mechanics; Hydraulics and Hydrology; Geometrics; Materials; Site Development Construction: Earthwork Construction and Layout; Estimating Quantities and Costs; Construction Operations and Methods; Scheduling; Material Quality Control and Production; Temporary Structures; Health and Safety. If you are preparing for the PE exam in civil engineering, the following suggestions may help. Newer editions mean that the codes, standards, and regulations on which the exam is based are not represented in the older edition,that the exam body of knowledge has changed, and/or the exam format and policies have changed. This means knowing the order of the chapters, the approximate locations of important figures and tables, what appendices are available, and so on.

"Discrete-time Signal Processing, " by the authors of the classic text "Digital Signal Processing" (Prentice Hall, 1975), is a completely up-to-date, thorough, and coherent treatment of the fundamentals of this field. The text assumes a background in advanced calculus, including an introduction to complex variables and a basic familiarity with signals and linear systems theory.
