Theory of Elasticity
by Stephen P. Timoshenko J. N. GoodierIn the revision of this book for a third edition, the primary intention and plan of the first edition have been preserved--to provide for engineers, in as simple a form as the subject allows, the essential fundamental knowledge of the theory of elasticity together with a compilation of solutions of special problems that are important in engineering practice and design. The numerous footnote references indicate how the several topics may be pursued further. Since these are now readily supplemented by means of Applied Mechanics Reviews, new footnotes have been added sparingly with this in mind. Small print again indicates sections that can be omitted from a first reading. <p><p>The whole text has been reexamined, and many minor improvements have been made throughout by elimination and rearrangement as well as addition. <p><p>From "Preface to the Third Edition," page vii
Three Modules on Clear Writing Style: An Introduction to The Craft of Argument
by Joseph M. Williams Gregory ColombAs readers, we respond to writing that is clear, direct, and coherent. As writers, we need to learn how to produce these qualities in our own work. Sometimes we lack the vocabulary for talking about writing especially about matters of style with our peers, editors, and collaborators. Learning new ways to talk about good writing simpli es the composition, editing and review processes. LRS provides writers with the tools to see and solve common problems.

What is Biodiversity
by Melina Laverty Eleanor Sterling Ian Harrison James Gibbs Robert AhlfingerThis collection provides an overview of what is meant by the term 'biodiversity,' and how we measure it. The collection reviews the different levels of biodiversity, or the 'biodiversity hierarchy' including: genetic and phenotypic diversity; population diversity; species diversity; community diversity; ecosystem diversity; landscape diversity; and historical and ecological biogeographic diversity. Brief definitions of populations, species, communities, and ecosystems are provided, with some introductory discussion of different types of 'species concepts.' The collection defines the terms 'species richness' and 'species evenness' as methods for measuring species diversity, and it discusses the use of species richness as a surrogate for describing overall global biodiversity. The collection reviews the distribution of biodiversity in space, explaining the definitions of alpha, beta and gamma diversity for measuring diversity within and between ecosystems. The environmental factors that affect these patterns of spatial diversity are briefly discussed. The collection also includes a brief review of the different ways by which assessments of spatial diversity are used for conservation planning and management (e.g., based on ecoregions, or biodiversity hotspots and coldspots). The collection concludes with a brief discussion of diversity over geological time.

Writing about Literature through Theory
by John Pennington Ryan CordellWriting about Literature through Theory by Pennington and Cordell is the first introduction to literature text to embrace both the best of print culture and the opportunities of the digital age, while being grounded in the rhetoric and composition field pertaining to the developmental writing process. It is also unique because it uses literary theory as the foundation for students’ development as critical thinkers and writers. Following Gerald Graff’s ideas in “Disliking Books at an Early Age,” Writing about Literature through Theory uses theoretical approaches to open literary texts up to students across the disciplines. Writing about Literature through Theory focuses on writing as a process, and each chapter includes the following:

Hall Of Fame
by EDITED BY DAVID HORSBURGH Notes exercises by MEERA SHENOYStudents who come to the PUC classes of our Universities, if they are to make the rapid improvement in English which so many academic disciplines of today demand, need plenty of reading material. Such material should be written with two-main aims: it should be interesting, and it should be comprehensible. This book has been produced to provide such material. The book contains short accounts of the lives or episodes from the lives, of seven men and one woman who, by their qualities of mind and heart, have presented an imperishable example of what man is capable of in terms of the great human values. Of the men, two are from India and one each from Greece, Germany, France, Russia and America; and the woman is probably the greatest that France has ever produced. Unfortunately the lives of great men are often presented as a series of dull facts. This book tries to avoid dullness and to create for the reader, through conversation and dramatised anecdote, the essential flavour of their greatness.
Introduction To Commutative Algebra
by Michael Atiyah I. G. MacdonaldThis book grew out of a course of lectures given to third year undergraduates at Oxford University and it has the modest aim of producing a rapid introduction to the subject. It is designed to be read by students who have had a first elementary course in general algebra. On the other hand, it is not intended as a substitute for the more voluminous tracts such as Zariski-Samuel or Bourbaki. We have concentrated on certain central topics, and large areas, such as field theory, are not touched. In content we cover rather more ground than Northcott and our treatment is substantially different in that, following the modern trend, we put more emphasis on modules and localization.
