Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Design engineering is a structured process using both art and science to create new or improved products - building on experience, bad as well as good. Failure occurs when something or someone fails to perform to expectations.

COMBRAITHRES DIADAE. What can it mean? Wells Kyong would love to find out - and so would his traveling companion, Vivianna Bricklin. A vintage motorcycle and cryptic instructions from a total stranger are their only clues, leading them steadily toward the truth. They have other questions, too: why are murderous villains hot on their heels? Why can they make household objects explode? And, most importantly, how are they ever going to explain running away with the neighbor kid to their parents? These answers and more await them - in an all-night greasy spoon just off the highway. But can they believe everything they hear?
