“This is the kind of trailblazing you won't want to miss.” -
Newsarama Celebrate the 10th anniversary of the
groundbreaking series! In 1804, Captain Meriwether Lewis
and Captain William Clark set out on an expedition to explore the
unchartered American frontier. This is the untold story of what
they discovered lurking in the wilds. This deluxe hardcover
collects the first 24 issues, along with covers and sketchbook, for
the definitive presentation of the entire MANIFEST DESTINY series,
by writer Chris Dingess (Marvel’s Agent Carter, Doom Patrol),
artist Matthew Roberts (Battle Pope), and colorist Owen Gieni (Rat
Queens). Collects MANIFEST DESTINY #1-24.
The materials mechanics of the controlled separation of a body into
two or more parts - cutting -- using a blade or tool or other
mechanical implement is a ubiquitous process in most engineering
disciplines, be it mechanical, civil, medical, food or process
based, and a surprising number of engineers are involved in cutting
and the design of cutting tools. There are a wide range of books
available on the cutting of metals, but no other text is devoted to
the cutting of materials generally, the mechanics of which
(toughness, fracture, deformation, plasticity, tearing, grating,
chewing, etc) have wide ranging implications for engineers, medics,
manufacturers, and process engineers, making this text of
particular interest to a wide range of engineers and specialists.
* The only book to explain and unify the process and techniques of
cutting in metals AND non-metals. The emphasis on biomaterials,
plastics and non-metals will be of considerable interest to many,
while the transfer of knowledge from non-metals fields offers
important benefits to metalcutters.
* Comprehensive, written with this well-known author's lightness of
touch, the book will attract the attention of many readers in this
under-served subject
* The clarity of the text is further enhanced by detailed examples
and case studies, from the grating of cheese on an industrial scale
to the design of scalpels, supporting online materials data and FEM
modelling material.
This book explores the relationships between form, space, and
cultural meaning in human habitation. Authors from a variety of
disciplines and international sites address the possibilities of
common ground in architectural theories about place and dwelling,
anthropological research on settlement archaeology, and the study
of cultural landscapes and geography. Illustrated with 220
full-color images, this book is a unique attempt to combine
thinking about cultural meaning in space and settlements, both
ancient and contemporary.
The name of Tony Atkins should need little introduction to
followers of the Great Western Railway. One of the original
contributors to the books on Great Western Wagons and more recently
on Great Western Goods Services, his expertise in this particular
field of history, operation and commerce is probably without equal.
Now he turns his attention to the Docks services operated by the
Company and while shipping cannot be totally ignored, this is a
book which concentrates primarily on the docks - how they operated,
and the traffic that each of them handled, both goods and
passenger. Neither were the Great Western docks limited to just
South Wales, instead the book starts at Brentford, moves to
Weymouth, then travels around the coast to Kingswear, Totnes and
Plymouth before continuing through Bristol, Gloucester and finally
into South Wales.
This new edition of A Dictionary of Mechanical Engineering provides
clear and concise definitions and explanations for over 8,000
mechanical-engineering terms in the core areas of design, stress
analysis, dynamics, thermodynamics, and fluid mechanics, together
with newly extended coverage of materials engineering. More than
550 new entries have been incorporated into the text, including
alloy steels, biomaterials, ceramics, continuum mechanics,
conventional drilling, graphene, metallic glasses,
superconductivity, and vapour deposition, alongside over 25
additional line drawings and updated web links. It continues to be
an indispensable reference for students of mechanical engineering
and related disciplines such as aerospace engineering, chemical
engineering, and civil engineering, practising engineers, and other
professionals needing to understand engineering terms.
