Product Design for Manufacture and Assembly, Third Edition

By: Geoffrey Boothroyd,Peter Dewhurst,Winston A. Knight

Hailed as a groundbreaking and important textbook upon its initial publication, the latest iteration of Product Design for Manufacture and Assembly does not rest on those laurels. In addition to the expected updating of data in all chapters, this third edition has been revised to provide a top-notch textbook for university-level courses in product design and manufacturing design. The authors have added a comprehensive set of problems and student assignments to each chapter, making the new edition substantially more useful. See what’s in the Third Edition: Updated case studies on the application of DFMA techniques Extended versions of the classification schemes of the features of products that influence the difficulty of handling and insertion for manual, high-speed automatic, and robot assembly Discussions of changes in the industry such as increased emphasis on the use of surface mount devices New data on basic manufacturing processes Coverage of powder injection molding Recognized as international experts on the re-engineering of electro-mechanical products, the methods and guidelines developed by Boothroyd, Dewhurst, and Knight have been documented to provide significant savings in the product development process. Often attributed with creating a revolution in product design, the authors have been working in product design manufacture and assembly for more than 25 years. Based on theory yet highly practical, their text defines the factors that influence the ease of assembly and manufacture of products for a wide range of the basic processes used in industry. It demonstrates how to develop competitive products that are simpler in configuration and easier to manufacture with reduced overall costs.

Buckinghamshire

By: Nikolaus Pevsner,Elizabeth Williamson,Geoffrey K. Brandwood

This completely new edition reveals a county of contrasts. The semi-rural suburbia of outer-Outer London, with its important early Modern Movement houses, is counterbalanced by magnificent mansions and parks, like idyllic Stowe and the Rothschilds' extravaganza at Waddesdon. The Saxon Church at Wing, the exquisite seventeenth-century Winslow Hall, and Slough's twentieth-century factories all contribute to Buckinghamshire's rich inheritance. In this new edition, the unspoilt centres of small towns, like Amersham and Buckingham, are revisited and Milton Keynes, Britain's last and most ambitious New Town, is explained and explored. The rich diversity of rural buildings, built of stone, brick, timber, and even earth, is investigated with scholarship and discrimination. This accessible and comprehensive guide is prefaced by an illuminating introduction and has many excellent illustrations, plans and maps.

Quinta Essentia - Part 1 (2nd Ed. )

Quinta Essentia - Part 1 (2nd Ed. )

By: Geoffrey Diemer

General Relativity states that matter generates "curvature" within the vacuum of space surrounding it, and that this curvature gives rise to inertial force and gravitational attraction amongst objects. The Electro-Gravi-Magnetics (EGM) method, described in the Quinta Essentia series, greatly enhances our understanding of the phenomenon of curvature. EGM is an engineering tool which systematically reveals the common thread connecting GR, Quantum Mechanics and Electromagnetism. Via this connection, one may represent space-time curvature in quantitative terms. The unique "universality" of EGM makes it a highly valuable and versatile tool for use in varied fields of physics. It also provides a practical framework for investigating "space-time metric engineering" concepts such as the artificial modification of gravitational fields and faster-than-light propulsion mechanisms. Part One of the Quinta Essentia series presents the layman reader with a conceptual introduction to the EGM method.

Matriarch

An Australian Novel of Love and Wa

By: Geoffrey Hope Gibson

ÿ"Powerful and unforgettable." At the beginning of the twentieth century, the son of an English lord settles in Australia and marries an indigenous woman. It is an age when interracial relationships are not only misunderstood, but result in family conflict, disgrace, and disinheritance. Then the Christian missionaries come. They destroy the timeless culture and beliefs of Australia's indigenous people, leaving them to flounder in a soup of the white man's religious beliefs. The great-grandmother's telling of the family story is the nourishment that holds it together through war, and the constant battle to adjust and exist in a white man's world. The Christian missionaries will not tolerate any belief or view other than their own. Amid all this religious and racial conflict, the great-grandchildren adjust and eventually prosper. The young man distinguishes himself in the conflict in Vietnam, while his sister finds her place and flourishes in the food and catering industry. From the Boer War through two World Wars, the Vietnam War, and the last decades of the twentieth century, Matriarch takes readers on an eye-opening journey through Australian history, culminating in a serial murder mystery that opens old family wounds. Author Geoffrey Hope Gibson's historical sweep of Australia's past is as broad as James A. Michener's. His style is reminiscent of Richard Llewellyn's depictions of Wales and Argentina, and his depiction of Aborigine mistreatment rivals the most frightening moments in Tayeb Salih's classic postcolonial novelÿSeason of Migration to the North. "Matriarchÿis a captivating story that will take readers through time within the aboriginal heart in Australia, and feel the raw truth of their history and social evolution to current times. A Must Read!" --Susan Violante, Managing Editor of Reader Views, and author ofÿInnocent War "This sprawling epic tale of love, marriage, injustice, ancestors, misguided religion, grief, rage, and murder is a testament to how the past never dies. In one family's struggles, Gibson creates a story that calls forth the best and worst of what it means to be human. Powerful and unforgettable." --Tyler R. Tichelaar, Ph.D., and award-winning author ofÿNarrow LivesÿandÿThe Best Place Learn more at www.GeoffreyGibson.com From the World Voices Series Modern History Press www.ModernHistoryPress.com Fiction : Sagas Fiction : Thrillers : Historical
