I am using the book on daily basis. It is excellent reference for any hydraulic system. It contains a description of all components and their functions then move to troubleshooting the component. It is well organized book and deserves reading it.

This book was very helpful. As an engineer at a zeolite manufacturing company, the book was very informative. The book enabled me to have a greater understanding of the processes in which our products are used.

Lame deer pulls no punches and tellyou how it was and how it is. I wish I could have met him in person. He teachings are carried on through others that he has taught.

An excellent publication that clarifies new wind load provisions with six detailed examples. These examples vary from tall office buildings to solid billboard sign. This guide also include, errata to ASCE 7-95 Wind provisions, FAQs on Wind provisions, and a great commentary with background information not included in the ASCE 7-95. A very readable book that demands its space in every Structural Engineer's professional library.

aaaaaaa

Vaughan's series of books on Valois Burgundy have long been a staple for anyone interested Burgundian history and culture. After a long stretch of being out of print, and very difficult to find, these new editions are sure to be welcomed by many historians. Added to Vaughan's work is a fantastic new introduction written for the 2002 edition by Malcolm Vale (another historian I would readily recommend).
While these works may be older, and more recent work has been done on Burgundy, Vaughan's scholarship is still first-rate. A must for the bookshelf of anyone interested in Valois Burgundy, or Northern Europe in the late 14th and 15th centuries.

This is another book by the prolific railroad author Richard E. Prince who is well-known throughout the American railfan community for his books on the steam locomotives of several Southeastern railroads. These books, mostly long out of print and of limited initial press runs, are highly prized by collectors. Most of these volumes are now being reissued by Indiana University Press so that these books may gain a wider circulation and offer those who were unable to purchase a copy of the limited initial releases. I, for one, am grateful to Indiana University Press for re-releasing this book, as well as others on steam motive power of the Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard Air line rairoads (both if which I have previously reviewed ...)A volume on the steam power of the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis Railroad is forthcoming.

The typical comprehensiveness of a Prince work is in this volume down to which six class J-4 2-8-2 Mikado steam locomotves got larger tenders in later years, not to mention the physical dimensions such as driving wheel diameter, cylinder bore and stroke, boiler pressure and tractive effort of each class of engine and date of disposition of each individual locomotive. If there is anything you would want to know about Louisville and Nashville Railroad steam power, it is in the book. It is my opinion that photographic clarity and quality is better than the usual Prince volume and does not suffer by comparison with other works of this genre.

This is a good book and a copy of it belongs in the library of any American steam locomotive enthusiast.

This book is essential reading for any historian or airpower enthusiast who wants to UNDERSTAND why the Luftwaffe fought as it did. Corum and Muller provide interesting commentary and a very strong introductory essay, but the book's real strength is its remarkable collection of key German documents -- collected and translated by the authors -- that trace the evolution of Luftwaffe doctrine. Buy this book!!

This is an excellent book for horse owners and farriers alike. For the horse owner, it is written in layman's language and easily laid out to find specific areas of interest. It is comprehensive and detailed enough to serve as an excellent reference tool for the farrier.

I found the information well organized, kept my interest with no wasted space. Includes foal leg and hoof development, a hard area to find info about.
