Teacher, schools, and society : a brief introduction to education

If you think that Teachers, Schools, and Society: A Brief Introduction to Education was written to intro¬duce you to. the world of teaching, you are only half right. This book also reflects our excitement about a life in the classroom and is intended to spark your own fascination about working with children. The basic premise for this text was to write a book students want to read, not have to…

Fluid mechanics in SI units

This book has been written and revised several times over a period of nine years, in order to further improve its contents and account for the many suggestions and comments from my students, university colleagues, and reviewers. It is hoped that this effort will provide those who use this \ with a clear and thorough presentation of both the theory and application of fluid mechanics. To achieve …

Incompressible flow

The fourth edition of Incompressible Flow has several substantial revisions. Students now have ready access to mathematical computer programs that have advanced features and are easy to use. This has allowed inclusion, in the text and the homework, of several more exact solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations. Additionally, more homework problems have been added that rely on computation and gr…

A child's world : infancy through adolescence

A Child's World: fostering your students' success. Informed by real student data and supported by real infants and children, A Child's World takes a practical approach to research and recognizes that just as every child develops in their own way, your students also learn in their own ways. With our adaptive, personalized learning program, LeamSmart, students are guided toward success on their t…

Fundamentals of aerodynamics

This book is for students—to be read, understood, and enjoyed. It is con¬sciously written in a clear, informal, and direct style to talk to the reader and gain his or her immediate interest in the challenging and yet beautiful discipline of aerodynamics. The explanation of each topic is carefully constructed to make sense to the reader. Moreover, the structure of each chapter is tightly or¬…

Materials science and engineering

I n this ninth edition we have retained the objectives and approaches for teaching materials science and engineering that were presented in previous editions. The first, and primary, objective is to present the basic fundamentals on a level appropriate for university/college students who have completed their freshmen calculus, chemistry, and physics courses. The second objective is to present …

Traffic engineering

The transportation system is often referred to as the nation's "lifeblood circulation system." Our complex system of roads and highways, railroads, airports and airlines, waterways, and urban transit systems provides for the movement of people and goods within and between our densest urban cities and the most remote outposts of the nation. Without the ability to travel and to transport goods, s…

Children

Acknowledgments I very much appreciate the support and guidance provided to me by many people at McGraw-Hill. Krista Bettino, Executive Director, Products and Markets, has provided excellent guid¬ance, vision, and direction for this book. Vicki Malinee provided considerable expertise in coordinating many aspects of the editorial process for this text. Janet Tilden again did an outstanding job…

Technology of machine tools

The use of computers continues to change how ma¬chine tools are used to manufacture products. Com¬puters have improved until there are now highly sophisticated units capable of controlling the opera¬tion of a single machine, a group of machines, or even a complete manufacturing plant. Section 14, "Computer-Age Machining," now includes not only computer numerical control machine tools, such a…

Introduction to materials science for engineers

This book is designed for a first course in engineering materials. The field that covers this area of the engineering profession has come to be known as "materi¬als science and engineering." To me, this label serves two important functions. First, it is an accurate description of the balance between scientific principles and practical engineering that is required in selecting the proper materi…

Introduction to materials science and engineering : a guided inquiry

This is not a typical textbook. Typical textbooks really serve as reference texts, a place where students can go to find information that they need. This text is . I designed with a very different goal in mind. It is a learning tool, a book that students use to help them learn. Thus, two very important philosophies underlie it: 1. Students learn by being actively engaged. The theory of const…

Manufacturing engineering and technology

In preparing the seventh edition of this book, our goal continues to be to provide a comprehensive and state-of-the-art manufacturing engineering and technology text¬book, with the additional aims of motivating and challenging students in studying this important engineering discipline. As in the previous editions, the book attempts to present a broad overview, emphasizing a largely qualitative…

Hydrology and floodplain analysis

The field of hydrology is of fundamental importance to civil and environ-mental engineers, hydrogeologists, and other earth scientists because of the environmental significance of water supply, major floods and droughts and their management, drainage and urban stormwater issues, floodplain man¬agement, and water quality impacts. In recent years, hurricanes and storm surge have caused significa…

Finite element analysis : theory and application with ANSYS

The fourth edition, consisting of 15 chapters, includes a number of new additions and changes that were incorporated in response to ANSYS revisions and suggestions and requests made by professors, students, and professionals using the third edition of the book. The major changes include: 1. Explanation of the changes that were made in the ANSYS's newest release (Chapters 3 and 8) 2. Explanat…

Principles of heat and mass transfer

In the Preface to the previous edition, we posed questions regarding trends in engineering education and practice, and whether the discipline of heat transfer would remain relevant. After weighing various arguments, we concluded that the future of engineering was bright and that heat transfer would remain a vital and enabling discipline across a range of emerg¬ing technologies including but no…

Principles and prevention of corrosion

The title of this book was chosen to reflect a blend of science (principles) and engi¬neering (prevention) in the study of metal corrosion. The instructor or the student can pick and choose between principles and prevention to obtain a blend that satis¬fies his or her background and interests. The book is planned so that the instructor can easily design a course at any desired level—or so t…

Geotechnical earthquake engineering

Compared to most disciplines of civil engineering, geotechnical earthquake engineering is quite young. While the damaging effects of earthquakes have been known for centuries, the strong contribution of soils to the magnitude and pattern of earthquake damage was not widely appreciated until relatively recently. Following damaging earthquakes in 1964 in Niigata, Japan and Alaska, and spurred by …

Engineering vibration

This book is intended for use in a first course in vibrations or structural dynar for undergraduates in mechanical, civil, and aerospace engineering or engineer¬ing mechanics. The text contains the topics normally found in such cou: in accredited engineering departments as set out initially by Den Hartog and refined by Thompson. In addition, topics on design, measurement, and computa¬tion are…
