Excellent resource. Check "Properties of Sections" area. Check equation for finding value of "I" for a hollow rectangle. I found that the values of "h" and "k" were reversed. This can be a hard-to-find error with great consequences. I would like more information on support lug design.

This book has everything that I've needed to know (so far) about pressure vessels as a plant/maintenance engineer. It contains numerous useful formulae, tables, diagrams, descriptions and worked examples. It is a must for any engineer working with pressure vessels!

This book is a must of Mechanical Eng.and other specialists in pressure vessels.I know this book as a little ASME

This is a great book for the regents review. I used it to help me study and its also good to use with your text book because it condences all the material down and makes it easier to understand. I think it is a really great Regent Review. I would recommend buying it.

Jerre Mangione's writing is so vivid that reading it brought back my childhood years in the 20's and 30's. His Mt Allegro (NY) was my Silver Lake (NJ). His parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, neighbors were mine with similar names. His family gatherings were mine, too. In this land of immigrants, each era has its own stories of growing up in America. Mangione tells his with the greatest affection, bitter-sweet nostalgia, and tender humor. Recently,I gave a copy of Mt Allegro to my Aunt Angie for her 87th birthday. She plans to pass it along to her older sisters.

Coming down from the literary high of I Never Loved Your Mind, I plunged into this book with reckless abandon. I was soon disillisioned, however. As a major Paul Zindel fan (I'm currently working on reading every book and play he has ever written) I can say that this does not stand up. Immediatley after the first read, it's a great book, but in comparison with Zindel's other fare it's just not as good. It's funny, but Eugene is awfully slow as a character. Mahatma, his Indian friend, is a terrific character who would stand up much better in another book. Regardless, although this is a must for hardcore Zindel fans, someone just starting out should really leave this until after I Never Loved Your Mind, To Take A Dare and The Pigman .

If you won't to read a good book then you need to read Amazing and Death Defying Diary of Eugene Dingman. This isn't an ordinary love story. Eugene is a nonentity with a lot of mettle. His apprehension dosen't stop him from showing is true feelings. And you woulden't believe what happens to Eugene it's vehement.

A rather skeptical reader myself, I was reluctant to pick up Eugene's diary. I thought it would contain another outrageous narrator who you can't understand or comprehend. I absolutly hate authors that create narrators who are nothing like teens today. How wrong I was about Eugene! Eugene's Diary is full or honesty and integrity. His diary tells the tale or his original, yet suprisingly normal summer, in which Eugene falls hopelessly in love, craves the attentions of his absent father, learns to tolerate his oblivious mother, befriends an Indian worker, and in turn, learns the difficulty in loving himself. Eugene's sincerity and his promise 'not to lie to his diary despite how terrible things turn out' wins the reader's admiration. More than once I found myself grinning with happinnes and sighing with embarrasment as Eugene went through another 'amazing and death defying' moment. In the end, I think you'll find that Eugene has found love for the right person after all, himself!
