Irons Books

I studied with this book in my years at the university. I was looking for a good reference book and I decided to buy this one. But when i went thru the chapters, I realized that all the topics are very student-oriented (as it's saying in the book's preface). I'm still looking for good advanced analysis and design book.
If you are an engineer, starting in the steel analysis and design, this is the book for you.
If your are an engineer looking for in-deep and advanced reference and explanations...look for another.

THIS BOOK IS VERY FRIENDLY USE AND CONCISE. RECOMMENDED AS QUICK REFERENCE. I WISH THAT THE AUTHORE PUT MORE DETAL (DEREVATIONS). I AM VERY HAPPY WITH IT

All I can say is that this is a fantastic book for real Sudoku nuts, like me. Therefore I recommend it.

I was very disappointed with this book, having purchased it because I look for very difficult sudoku.

The puzzles in this book are hardly even "difficult", much less fiendishly so. They are mostly what I call "fake difficult", which means that you have to do a lot of marking-up to find the one "secret", but after that the puzzle falls apart completely.

There are perhaps 10 out of 150 puzzles in the book that are well done and rewarding for experienced solvers.

If you are looking for puzzles that require advanced solving techniques, don't go for this book. The only advanced technique I ever used in it(and it might not have been required), is the so-called "Gordonian square" (If the corners of a square are 12, 12, 12, and 123, the odd number has to be chosen to avoid a non-unique solution).

Sorry, but I can't even recommend this book for less experienced solvers, because they will just be confused by the apparent difficulty. Not a good one, in my opinion.

"Velvet On Iron" is a study of the diplomacy of Theodore Roosevelt, organized by themes, rather than by events. The essays cover TR in the context of his times, consider the credibility of his foreign policy as well as the role of morality in its formulation, contrast his reality with his myth and evaluate the influence of his cosmopolitan background on his diplomacy.

This book touches on specific incidents, such as the Algeciras and Portsmouth Conferences and the Alaskan boundary and Venezuelan crises, only in the context of what they reveal about the character trait of TR which is the subject of the particular essay.

This relatively short book stimulates thought about TR's character and his management of foreign policy. I recommend it for the serious student of TR, but only after a study his life through other sources.

The author traveled along the fortified border that used to divide East and Western Europe. The most detailed descriptions are those of the separation of Germany including Berlin. There are several conversations and trips with border patrol officials. There are no photographs.

Wonderful variety of alphabets, suitable for any type of needlework or textile painting projects. The only possible drawback would be that no lower-case letters are included.

The best book on the history and technology of the American Iron Industry available. Anyone interested in or working with the early iron industry should own a copy. The only possible criticisms are that some will find parts of the book a bit too technical, and the emphasis of the book is on the 19th century and the Northern industry (not surprising given the available records).

Among most books on the topic, this one is written in a very simple language, it gives you the feeling as the writer would lead you in to the deciphering room. After you read this one, you should have the basics, and are ready for the more advanced ones. I won't give it the fifth star since it is intended for beginners, in my view. Thus, no table of characters is present. Nevertheless, it is definitely an excellent work.

This book provides you with a large selection of iron-on-transfers as well as variety. I found that it covers holidays, to special events, to the alphabet, and even every day items.

The patterns are large enough to be included on t-shirts or tote bags.

The patterns also do really transfer 3 to 5 times depending on the heat setting of the iron and material you are transferring to.

A nice surprise was an introduction that provided ideas and methods on where and how to use the iron on transfers.

This second novel by MacKinnon set in the Ironclaw fantasy gaming world of talking animal "races" of the Renaissance Europe-like continent Calabria (Scars, 2002), focuses upon the Highlander-like wolf lords, the Bisclavret. Ian MacAllastair, young heir to the minor and out-of-favor border Clan MacLeith, begins as an arrogant idealist believing in equality and opposing slavery. He sets out into Calabria's Machiavellian capital city of Triskellion to organize a slave revolt, not realizing that he has been set up by enemies who want to get rid of him, or that the slaves have organized their own freedom movement and do not want a well-meaning but ignorant outsider calling attention to them. Black Iron is in the classic tradition of the naive young fool who barely survives his mistakes to learn better the hard way, and comes to help the liberation movement honestly in a way that he did not expect.

Black Iron is a well-plotted, fast-paced adventure featuring anthropomorphized wolves, tigers, otters, boars, and other animal nobility, merchants, scholars, and slaves. There is a bit of magic, but the action mostly involves 16th & 17th century swordfighting and early firearms. It is a standalone novel, not requiring familiarity with Scars or with the Ironclaw game.
