John W. Evans Libri

Evans and Reeks provide a practical guide to the art of crystal drawing - that is, the process of creating detailed drawings of microscopic crystal structures. They discuss the various tools and techniques used in crystal drawing, and provide step-by-step instructions for creating accurate and detailed illustrations. This book also includes a preface by John W. Evans, a noted crystallographer and physicist. This is an essential resource for anyone interested in the field of crystallography.

Winner of the 2013 Trio Award for a First or Second Book of Poetry.

The book addresses the critical shift to lead-free solders, driven by regulations like the WEEE Directive in the EU. It emphasizes the responsibility of engineers to understand and select suitable lead-free materials, providing essential data and insights from a decade of global research. Key topics include soldering metallurgy, assembly processes, surface finishes, and the mechanical properties of different solders. It also outlines measurement techniques and highlights knowledge gaps, offering a comprehensive resource for engineers navigating this transition.

Focusing on the intricate processes of assimilation and digestion, this treatise explores the various solvent juices and fluids within the human body, detailing their origins and functions. It examines the glands responsible for their secretion and the interrelations among these elements. This high-quality reprint of the original 1878 edition offers valuable insights into the biological mechanisms that sustain human health and nutrition.

The book explores the complexities of American trade policy during the Kennedy administration, focusing on the significant negotiations and agreements that shaped international trade relations. It delves into the political, economic, and social factors influencing trade decisions, highlighting the impact of the Kennedy Round on both domestic and global markets. Through analysis of key events and policies, the work provides insights into the challenges and achievements of trade diplomacy during this pivotal era in U.S. history.

The book develops the root-cause approach to reliability - often referred to as "physics of failure" in the reliability engineering field. It approaches the subject from the point of view of a process and integrates the necessary methods to support that process. The book can be used to teach first- or second-year postgraduate students in mechanical, electrical, manufacturing and materials engineering about addressing issues of reliability during product development. It will also serve practicing engineers involved in the design and development of electrical and mechanical components and systems, as a reference.
