The Elements of Style

The Original 1920 Edition

By: Jr William Strunk

Before there was Strunk and White, there was just Strunk, Jr. Originally, Strunk produced his style guide for use in his own classes. But in 1920, the book was published and made available for wider use. Since 1920, many editions and revisions of "Elements of Style" have been produced, most famously enhanced by E.B. White in 1959. Still, sometimes its nice to have the original. Sometimes its nice to see how it all began. For people who resonate with that, this edition, a carefully reconstructed facsimile edition of the one published in 1920, will be a true treasure. Note, this edition is NOT an 'optically character recognition' (OCR) scanned edition. It is a high quality facsimile. Nonetheless, the reader should be aware that as facsimile it will contain both the glories and the imperfections of the original.

An Illustrator's Sketchbook

Master Drawings from the Model

By: Arthur Keller,William Steven Kloepfer, Jr.

In 1920, a well-known illustrator compiled hundreds of his preliminary studies of costumed models, photographed them, and produced two portfolios. The result is a revealing look into an expert's technique and, according to The New York Times, offer an "opportunity to know a competent illustrator in his moments of preparation.

The Writer Who Stayed

By: William Zinsser

Adapted from "Zinsser on Friday," The American Scholar's National Magazine Award–Winning Essay Series For nineteen months William Zinsser, author of the best-selling On Writing Well and many other books, wrote a weekly column for the website of the American Scholar magazine. This cornucopia was devoted mainly to culture and the arts, the craft of writing, and travels to remote places, along with the movies, American popular song, email, multitasking, baseball, Central Park, Tina Brown, Pauline Kael, Steve Martin, and other complications of modern life. Written with elegance and humor, these pieces are now collected in The Writer Who Stayed. "If you value vintage journalism of an old-fashioned vividness and integrity please, please read this book."—Wall Street Journal "Our 'endlessly supple' English language will, Zinsser says, 'do anything you ask it to do, if you treat it well. Try it and see.' Try him and see craftsmanship."—George F. Will "Zinsser—who, with On Writing Well, taught a whole lot of us how to set down a clean English sentence—last year won a National Magazine Award for his Friday web columns in The American Scholar. They're now in a collection that's completely charming, impeccably polished, and Strunk-and-White-ishly brief. He's the youngest 90-year-old you'll read this week."—New York Magazine

Creep and Relaxation of Nonlinear Viscoelastic Materials

Creep and Relaxation of Nonlinear Viscoelastic Materials

By: William N. Findley,Francis A. Davis

This pioneering book presents the basic theory, experimental methods, experimental results and solution of boundary value problems in a readable, useful way to designers as well as research workers and students. The mathematical background required has been kept to a minimum and supplemented by explanations where it has been necessary to introduce specialized mathematics. Also, appendices have been included to provide sufficient background in Laplace transforms and in step functions. Chapters 1 and 2 contain an introduction and historic review of creep. As an aid to the reader a background on stress, strain, and stress analysis is provided in Chapters 3 and 4, an introduction to linear viscoelasticity is found in Chapter 5 and linear viscoelastic stress analysis in Chapter 6. In the next six chapters the multiple integral representation of nonlinear creep and relaxation, and simplifications to single integral forms and incompressibility, are examined at length. After a consideration of other representations, general relations are derived, then expanded to components of stress or strain for special cases. Both constant stress (or strain) and variable states are described, together with methods of determining material constants. Conversion from creep to relaxation, effects of temperature and stress analysis problems in nonlinear materials are also treated here. Finally, Chapter 13 discusses experimental methods for creep and stress relaxation under combined stress. This chapter considers especially those experimental problems which must be solved properly when reliable experimental results of high precision are required. Six appendices present the necessary mathematical background, conversion tables, and more rigorous derivations than employed in the text. An extensive updated bibliography completes the book.
