This debut edition of Visualizing Physical Geography encompasses the science of physical geography from local to global scales, using a uniquely visual approach to take students on a journey from the top layers of the Earth’s atmosphere to the rocks underlying the ocean basins to the forests of the farthest continents. As students explore the critical topics of physical geography, their study of the climate, surface features, and habitats around the world uses basic concepts of ecology, geology, chemistry, environmental science, biology, and physics and many other disciplines. Visualizing Physical Geography reinforces these interacting components and, with its premier art program, vividly illustrates the interconnectedness of physical processes that weave together to create our planet’s dynamic surface and atmosphere.
Visualizing Geography relies heavily on other visuals with text to elucidate concepts for students and solidify their understanding of them. The goal is to help students understand the world around them and interpret what they see in a meaningful, accurate and exciting way. The content, design and layout of the text takes advantage of the full capacity in which students process information – visual as well as verbal.

MATLAB, a software package for high-performance numerical computation and visualization, is one of the most widely used tools in the engineering field today. Its broad appeal lies in its interactive environment, which features hundreds of built-in functions for technical computation, graphics, and animation. In addition, MATLAB provides easy extensibility with its own high-level programming language.
Enhanced by fun and appealing illustrations, Getting Started with MATLAB employs a casual, accessible writing style that shows users how to enjoy using MATLAB.
Features
* Discusses new features and applications, including the new engine of symbolic computation in MATLAB 7.8 (released March 2009)
* Provides two sets of self guided tutorials for learning essential features of MATLAB
* Includes updated commands, examples, figure, and graphs
* Familiarizes users with MATLAB in just a few hours though self-guided lessons
* Covers elementary, advanced, and special functions
* Supplements any course that uses MATLAB
* Works as a stand-alone tutorial and reference

A comprehensive text presenting a detailed description of the theory along with computer programs aht can be readily used by students and practicing engineers for stress analysis. The finite element formulations are developed through easy-to-follow derivations for the analysis of plane stress/strain and axisymmetric solid, plate bending, three-dimensional solid and shell problems.
A unified treatment is provided for the analysis of framed structures based on the finite element displacement mode! so that the reader gets the tools necessary for the stress/structural analysis of all types of problems in a single text.
To increase the scope of application, a new chapter on Condition Heat Transfer has been added in this edition.
A unique feature of this book is the development and presentation of a general purpose computer program 'PASSFEM, with an element library for six types of elements with three element shapes for each type of stress analysis. The listing of the programs is given in Appendices 1 to 8. A separate chapter on FEA software has been devoted to highlight the capabilities of and current trends in FEA packages .
Finite element analysis is a powerful numerical tools and in order to help students master the techniques, 190 problems are given as student exercises under various chapter in this edition.
With its simple style and extensive coverage, this is an indispensable text for undergraduate engineering students as well as practicing engineers.

This updated edition of this estimating manual gives contractors, engineers and managers two quick and inexpensive methods for estimating realistic design and construction costs of chemical/petrochemical plants, refineries and similar industrial facilities. One method, with an accuracy range of +/- 30 per cent, is suitable for determining plant feasibility in the early planning/evaluating stages; another method produces an estimate of total plant costs with +/- 10 per cent.
