Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Water is becoming an increasingly important topic and is the subject of many treaties and disputes. This set contains more than 100 signed entries on water science and water issues. Volume 1 has six chapters dealing with water science basics, volume 2 has five chapters dealing with the economics and uses of water, and the final volume has two chapters dealing with the environmental, legal, and political issues surrounding water. Each chapter contains numerous signed entries. For example, the chapter on the "Basics of Water Science" contains entries on biochemistry, chemistry of water, the hydrologic cycle, and the physics of water. Each entry has its own displayed glossary and gray sidebars with additional facts and also contains a list of print and Web resources for further study and research. The set is illustrated with black-and-white photographs, maps, and cycle charts. There is also a color photo section in each volume. The preponderance of gray and black and white does not provide a lot of visual interest.
The chapter arrangement makes it somewhat difficult to locate specific information. Within each chapter, entries are arranged alphabetically, and guide words are located at the bottom of each right-hand page. The individual entries in chapters have subheadings that are not arranged alphabetically, so it becomes slightly confusing as one pages through looking for topical information. A general glossary, a research and activities section, and a cumulative index to the set are included in each volume.
Review
"This set makes a good addition to libraries in which science or social studies students need current useful information for research projects. Recommended."
--Library Media Connection, November/December 2005 (Library Media Connection )<br /><br />"Water is essential to life for plants and animals. Water divides geographical locations and requires laws and agreements between countries, states and communities. An introduction to everything you ever wanted to know about water science and water issues, with accompanying research and activity ideas, can be found here. Presented with an international perspective, volume 1 includes the basics of water science; oceans and saltwater; fresh water; estuaries and wetlands; ice; and water, weather and climates. Volume 2 examines science and technology, science and research, economic uses of water, recreational uses of water, and history and culture. Issues " environmental, legal and political " are found in volume 3.
Each volume begins with the same Reader's Guide, 26 pages of Words to Know, Research and Activity Ideas and end with "Where to Learn More." Individual articles have books and Web sites to look for additional information. Sidebars also have "Words to Know" and insert boxes offer additional information, biographies and descriptions of water-related activities. Each volume has eight pages of color photographs placed together within a chapter. Other photos and illustrations are black-and-white. Show this to your science teachers. It will be helpful also to social studies teachers who can use the information on this scarce commodity as a prelude for the creation of laws. Recommended for upper-middle school and high school."

"The book consists of Eight chapters. Chapter 1 and 2 deal with analysis and design of load bearing bricks masonry wall and pillars and their foundations. Chapter 3 deals with stability and design of brick masonry retaining walls subjected to different types of earth pressure including surcharge. Chapter 4 deals with requirements of structural timber and the permissible stresses in different grades of timber. Chapter 5 and 6 deals with analysis and design of timber beams including fletched timber beam. Chapter 7 deals with analysis and design of timber columns and chapter 8 deals with design of timber roof truss including reversal of stresses. All chapters have been provided solved examples covering all types of problems in a graded manner. Masonry design is based on IS:1905-1987 (reaffirmed 2002) and Timber Structure Design is based on IS: 883-1984 (reaffirmed 2005)."

When bridges fail, often with loss of human life, those involved may be unwilling to speak openly about the cause. Yet it is possible to learn from mistakes. The lessons gained lead to greater safety and are a source of innovation.
This book contains a systematic, unprecedented overview of more than 500 bridge failures assigned to the time of their occurrence in the bridges' life cycle and to the releasing events. Primary causes are identified. Many of the cases investigated are published here fpr the first time and previous interpretations are shown to be incomplete or incorrect. A catalogue of rules that can help to avoid future mistakes in design analysis, planning and erection is included.
A lifetime's work brilliantly compiled and courageously presented - a wealth of knowledge and experience for every structural engineer.

Author: Dr Tom W Argles, Dr David A Rothery, Professor Robert A Spicer, and Dr Angela L. Coe | Size: 31.9 MB | Format:PDF | Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd | Year: 2010 | pages: 336 | ISBN: 1444330624
The understanding of Earth processes and environments over geological time is highly dependent upon both the experience that can only be gained through doing fieldwork, and the collection of reliable data and appropriate samples in the field. This textbook explains the main data gathering techniques used by geologists in the field and the reasons for these, with emphasis throughout on how to make effective field observations and record these in suitable formats. Equal weight is given to assembling field observations from igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary rock types. There are also substantial chapters on producing a field notebook, collecting structural information, recording fossil data and constructing geological maps.
Geological Field Techniques is designed for students, amateur enthusiasts and professionals who have a background in geology and wish to collect field data on rocks and geological features. Teaching aspects of this textbook include:
step-by-step guides to essential practical skills such as using a compass-clinometer, making a geological map and drawing a field sketch;
tricks of the trade, checklists, flow charts and short worked examples;
over 200 illustrations of a wide range of field notes, maps and geological features;
appendices with the commonly used rock description and classification diagrams;
a supporting website hosted by Wiley Blackwell.

This European Standard is applicable to ceramic tile adhesives for internal and external tile installations on walls, floors and ceilings.
This standard gives the terminology concerning the products, working methods, application properties, etc, for ceramic tile adhesives.
This European Standard specifies the values of performance requirements for ceramic tile adhesives (cementitious, dispersion and reaction resin adhesives).
This European Standard does not provide criteria or recommendations for the design and installation of ceramic tiles.
NOTE Ceramic tile adhesives may also be used for other types of tiles (natural and agglomerated stones, etc.), if they do not adversely affect these materials.
