As its name implies, the aim of Systems Design and Engineering: Facilitating Multidisciplinary Development Projects is to help systems engineers develop the skills and thought processes needed to successfully develop and implement engineered systems. Such expertise typically does not come through study but from action, hard work, and cooperation. To that end, the authors have chosen a "hands-on" approach for presenting material rather than concentrating on theory, as so often is the case in a...

* 'Great art has dreadful manners...' Simon Schama observes at the start of his epic exploration of the power, and whole point, of art. 'The hushed reverence of the gallery can fool you into believing masterpieces are polite things, visions that soothe, charm and beguile, but actually they are thugs. Merciless and wily, the greatest paintings grab you in a headlock, rough up your composure and then proceed in short order to re-arrange your sense of reality...' * With the same disarming force,...

Un de ses amis, le marquis de Croismare, s'étant intéressé au sort d'une jeune femme qui demandait à sortir du couvent où elle avait été placée contre son gré, Diderot eut l'idée facétieuse, en 1760, de lui adresser des lettres prétendument écrites par la religieuse qui lui demandait secours. Le marquis tomba dans le piège, une correspondance s'ensuivit, et l'écrivain, pris à son propre jeu, finit par composer les mémoires que Suzanne Simonin était censée avoir écrits à l...

This book aims to bridge the gap between UX content that is authoritative but at the same time easily digestible. It contains a series of essays on UX research. Although the book could be read from cover to cover, our assumption is that user researchers will dip in and out of the book, somewhat like a bedside or coffee-break reader.

Chemical Engineering Volume 2 covers the properties of particulate systems, including the character of individual particles and their behaviour in fluids. Sedimentation of particles, both singly and at high concentrations, flow in packed and fluidised beads and filtration are then examined. The latter part of the book deals with separation processes, such as distillation and gas absorption, which illustrate applications of the fundamental principles of mass transfer introduced in Chemical Eng...
