First published in 1977 and now reprinted in its original form, A
Source-book of Scottish Witchcraft has been the most authoritative
reference book on Scottish Witchcraft for almost thirty years. It
has been invaluable to the specialist scholar and of interest to
the general reader. It provides, but provides much more than, a
series of lists of the 'names and addresses' of long-dead witches.
However, although it is widely quoted and held in high esteem, few
copies were ever printed and most are owned by libraries or similar
institutions. Until now, it has been difficult to obtain and even
more difficult to buy. In 1938, George F. Black, a Scotsman who was
in charge of New York Public Library, published A Calendar of Cases
of Witchcraft in Scotland 1510-1727. This was a fairly
comprehensive compilation of brief accounts of references, in
printed sources, to Scottish witchcraft cases. The Source-book
built upon this study but went beyond it by including, through an
examination of actual ancient manuscripts, information on
previously unpublished cases. It also presented the material in a
more systematic way in relation, where known, to the names of the
accused witches, their sex, their fate, the place of the case, its
date and the type of court that dealt with it. Some such
information is presented in the form of tables. Transcriptions of
documents pertaining to witchcraft trials- such as examples of the
evidence of supposed witnesses, and other salient legal documents -
including, for instance, an ancient account of when and why the
testimony of female witnesses might be legally acceptable in
Scottish courts - are also presented.

high-temperature componentsApplied Creep Mechanics fully discusses
the time-dependent deformation which occurs in a metal when
subjected to stress at an elevated temperature. This book explains
how to perform detailed analyses of welded components; assess the
conditions under which cracks may initiate and grow; and extract
valuable information about the current state of the material, which
may have been in service for many years. This practical guide
provides tested techniques for improving the design and life
assessment methods for high-temperature components in power plants,
chemical plants, and aero engines. The information presented in
this book will help you optimize maintenance and repair, save time,
reduce costs, and improve operational efficiency. Provides
real-world industrial perspective on how to apply techniques to
practical problems Case studies with linear and non-linear material
behavior models Solution methods based on equilibrium compatibility
and stress-strain and energy concepts Discusses high-temperature
creep of engineering components; high-temperature structural
analysis; high-temperature fracture mechanics; and damage mechanics
Covers welded, notched, and cracked components State-of-the-art
coverage of thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF)
