Simply written and beautifully illustrated, A Day in the Life of a Colonial Blacksmith tells about the world of a tradesman, his work, and his tools.

Young readers are given a clear understanding of why a blacksmith was so important in the colonies, and how a young apprentice could learn to become a master blacksmith.

Ideally, this would be the same type of information a student would have by visiting a living history museum and meeting the blacksmiths.

Very well done!

In this wonderful volume of The Library of Living and Working in Colonial Times, author Kathy Wilmore outlines the working life of the printer, including a bookstore and post ofice, the tools of the trade, etc. The work was hard and very slow compared to the modern printing industry. Hard work in colonial times might only produce 200 copies in an hour!

The book lists web sites for extra study and a glossary.

Recommended!

This is a book for novices and experts alike. The step-by-step nature of the described tests make the difficult procedures of corrosion monitoring easy. A book for every corrosion scientists bookshelf.

Beautiful 240 page, hardbound library volume with laminated color covers. Contains more than 500 very large, full color, sharp life-like photos, each with the value (1995). Gorgeous photos of the trucks and in many cases, their original boxes. Major topics include Metalcraft, Smith-Miller, Buddy "L", Marx, North America, Europe, Japan and Asia, Modern Era / New Logo, Collectors' Editions, Racing Cars, Model Kits, Fantasy, Trains and Trolleys, and more. Model years run from 1931 to the 1980s. You'll find toy Coke trucks from all over the world. A very useful reference and a great volume to browse through.

The pharmaceutical industry has long been regulated by the government, which has become not only a regulator but a verifier of drug facts in the process: who better to analyze the federal government's rule in defining drug facts than Richard Henry Parrish II, an assistant professor of pharmacy practice at Shenandoah University. His specialty allows for an analysis and argument that the government came to its role because the pharmacy and medical professions could enforce definitions and standards only through its police powers. From social systems regulating drug therapies in this country to how such standards were established Defining Drugs is an essential key for the medical profession and any who would understand the drug industry's regulation processes.

Delmar's Standard Guide to Transformers (or DSGT) is definitely worth owning.

It's a book targeted at vocational school students, but valuable to anyone that uses, installs, specifies, or services transformers. Every idea the book's text attempts to convey is supplemented by a drawing, photo, or illustration. The author left his ego out of the pages; at no point did I every feel talked down to nor did I detect any hint of academic condescension. Not to oversell the product, scientists and transformer company engineer/designers probably won't benefit as much, for the book is decidedly slanted to the users of transformers, not the makers of them.

After reading DSGT, transformers will be real to you, not just an abstract concept. The book begins with the basics of magnetism and a painless review of electrical theory, then starts building on that foundation. Unlike many EE text books that contain mostly page after page of verbiage and equations, this book has many large photos and detailed cut-aways of real transformers: tiny, small, medium, large, and enormous. Photos are numerous, all high-quality, professionally shot of every kind of transformer...but one.

This is a mild criticism, no photo is included of a common dry-type transformer of 30-60 KVA transformer very commonly found in most businesses and industrial settings. I would also liked to have seen a reproduction of a sample manufacturer's transformer data plate from this same size and type of transformer along with an explanation of how to read it.

After finishing the section on autotransformers, I was impressed by the depth of my personal ignorance and misconception on that subject!. The coverage of single-phase systems is quite good and 3-phase systems especially good. The most complete and concentrated collection of transformer interconnection schemes I've yet found is in this book.

An inspirational book that is soothing to the soul. Dr. Deming, along with Juran and Crosby, were the trilogy of the Total Quality movement in the 1980s and 1990s. What has evolved has at its roots the 14 points, System of Profound Knowledge, and Seven Deadly Diseases--all of which are dealt with admirably in this wonderful concise book. It is a must for all followers of Deming and for those who want to learn more about quality improvement.
