In order to make sure that the learners have gained a proper understanding of the subject, the authors have presented the basic mechanisms operating at nano- and micro- levels across a very broad range of materials, in the mathematically simple and easy-to-follow way. Such integrated approach will provide readers with a conceptual presentation showing how exactly the microstructure of the materials is controlling their mechanical behavior.

The book is full of informative micrographs and colorful illustrations. In addition to that, the authors have included numerous exercises and live examples for better understanding. There are many empirical equations included in the content of the work. In fact, the book will be useful to all students regardless of their level due to the coverage of all fundamental concepts giving a comprehensive picture in this field, even though it is not intended to serve as an introductory text.

The publication has been specifically designed and released for the advanced learners of English language. The volume has been significantly updated to be fully compliant with the latest scope of the CPE exam and to provide users with the most comprehensive coverage of all important grammatical structures and vocabulary considered essential for successful CPE and CAE exam.

The author finely detailed the grammar content of the volume and the made the presentation of the material very clear for easier understanding of the theory. Apart from the theoretical part, the book is full of very informative and interesting examples providing some supplementary information. Obviously, the main focuses has been made on the vocabulary - the revised sections of the vocabulary are basing on the feedbacks from the users and concentrate on words and expressions that are usually very useful during the exams.

The publication is intended to provide all learners with an excellent opportunity to practice; it offers them a variety of practical exercises to confirm their understanding and to better prepare for the CAE/proficiency examination. The approach is very flexible therefore the book can be used in different ways; in addition, the very clear cross references will point the user in the right direction.

The main content of this title is aimed to cover all important aspects of the fluid mechanics to be used by both professional engineers and students. There are many books on fluid mechanics available today, only some of them are comprehensively addressing all particular needs of the courses in fluid mechanics. Though the present volume has been primarily intended to be used by the students of mechanical engineering, it will also be equally useful for the students of any other engineering discipline.

Moreover, it could be used for the self-study if the readers possesses some basic knowledge of differential equations and calculus. As per the reviews, this is one of the best available graduate textbooks in the field recommended to everyone. The book will provide a truly coherent spread of the technical material necessary to gain the required knowledge. The derivation and explanations contained in the publication is expected to be of great use to all interested readers, not limited to the students but also including practicing engineers, scientists and researchers. Meinhard Schobeiri, the author of the title, has included the end-chapter problems and projects to help readers easier understand the material. It will definitely serve as a very practical and useful addition to the popular texts addressing the important aspects of fluid mechanics.

One of the main aims of the author in writing this relatively compact textbook was mainly to produce a good and understandable text that would be enhancing the natural enthusiasm of the students for the ocean. It was actually students' request for a readable, engaging, and thorough text that initiated the project a long time ago. Through the nearly thirty years the author has been writing textbooks, and his enthusiasm for oceanic knowledge has increased, forcing his reviewers and editors to weed out an excessive number of exclamations.

However, the enthusiasm does shine through... This clear and current book is considered one of the most popular and also deservedly recognized all around the world. This revision of the publication is including the updated info related to the problem of global warming, and the text of the book is supplemented with numerous informative illustrations. Increased emphasis has been made by the author on the inter-disciplinary idea of the marine science.

The author is bringing the focus to the excitement to the quite complex nature of the world ocean; in addition, he also addresses the interaction of the ocean with other systems. Definitely, this is one of the most important and must-have titles on the bookshelf of literally any oceanography and marine science student, professional or enthusiast.

This publication is fully dedicated to the electronic devices and circuit theory; the intention of the author was to offer the students a thorough and comprehensive study of the subject topics. The material that has been provided in this publication will be of use for people willing to improve their technical knowledge and know hot to apply it to the day-to-day operations.

The authors of the book took a systems approach, covering the topics in a special fashion that allows to ensure students comprehend all fundamental aspects like transistors and diodes before they start with more advanced topics. The content of this textbook is mainly based on the semiconductor components. The authors of the book has explained to the readers what the diodes are and how they work, the reason of their function, their characteristics and many application circuits; the book is also intended to describe what the transistors are and shed some light on their most popular applications.

Moreover, the readers will know how to polarizate the transistors, and some other operations. They will get the necessary information on what the operational amplifiers, power amplifiers and oscillator circuits are. The book includes so many problems and illustrations for better understanding of the material...

Seafarers, wherever you are in the world, whatever your nationality, rank, or type of vessel, you need to eat. On crew ships or ferries, the passengers will expect as a minimum high quality food and well-maintained restaurants and cafes. And a food everyone eats needs to be not only tasty but, above all, safe. If not, you, the crew, and passengers may suffer from food poisoning, become ill, unable to work or enjoy themselves and, in extreme cases this may be fatal.

Food areas on some ships are a distress. If food safety controls are poor, contaminated food may strike anybody anywhere with serious consequences. This set of video programs and the accompanying booklet shows the good practices that must be maintained to ensure wellbeing of all on board. The first part of the set is dedicated to the hazards and controls. With proper procedures in place, most hazards on board ship can be avoided, including those leading to food poisoning. Has the food been properly stored and prepared?

Was it prepared on a clean surface with clean utensils? Did the preparers wash their hands after using the toilet? If not, then anyone eating this food could be in serious trouble. It is everyone's responsibility to ensure standards are high and that starts at the top. Food poisoning can sometimes be a result of senior staff failing to identify hazards and taking the necessary steps to avoid them... We also recommend you to supplement the training with this booklet.
