Machinery's Handbook 26 Toolbox Edition $85.00
by Erik Oberg (Editor), Christopher J. McCauley (Editor), ricca Heald, Franklin Day Jones, Henry H. Ryffel

After more than 85 years of continuous publication, Machinery's Handbook remains unchallenged as "The Bible" in its field, and the new 26th edition remains true to the Handbook's original design as an extraordinarily comprehensive yet practical and easy-to-use reference for mechanical and manufacturing engineers, designers, draftsmen, toolmakers, and machinists. Available in two versions-the toolbox edition and the larger-print edition-this valuable tool has been painstakingly updated and revised to reflect the needs of its users and changes in manufacturing. And just like in previous editions, existing material that is of proven worth is still included in order to provide for the needs of disciplines that are not as quick to develop. Both versions are thumb indexed for easy referencing. UNIQUE FEATURES * 80 pages of new content have been added and the entire text, including all tables and equations, has been reset and numerous figures have been redrawn. * Features significant format changes and major revisions, as well as new material on a variety of topics including: aerodynamic lubrication, high speed machining, grinding speeds and feeds, metalworking fluids, ISO surface texture, pipe welding, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing, gearing, and EDM. * Provides a new and innovative presentation on the econometrics of machining and grinding which is designed to help lower unit manufacturing costs and/or maximize production output in the most cost-effective way. * Contains a larger mathematics section that features new discussions of coordinate systems and interpolations. * The number of contents pages has been increased for many of the larger sections, and the index has been expanded and reorganized to include most of the many standards referenced in the Handbook. * Material on logarithms, trigonometry, and other topics, as well as sine bar tables have been restored.

Over five hundred simple mechanical movements from America's first one hundred years of the Industrial Revolution. For those who share an interest in mechanical things, this book is addictive. Through the use of simplified, concise drawings, here are 507 of the small components which make up complex machinery in areas as diverse as C.R. Otis's safety stop for the elevator, Pickering's governor for a steam engine, Arnold's escapement for watches, compound parallel rules, piston rod guides, the grasshopper beam engine and a self recording level for surveyors. The list goes on and on in fascinating variety, with each movement explained and illustrated.

Endgame: A Novel (Doom, 4) $21.00
by Dafydd Ab Hugh, Brad Linaweaver, Dafydd Ab Hugh, Daffyd Hugh, Dafydd Ab Hugh

They left behind everything that mattered to them-- friends, lovers, country-- to journey to the stars. Now Sergeant Flynn Taggart and Pfc. Arlene Sanders, USMC, have reached their destination... the homeworld of the demon invaders who destroyed Earth. But there, they find a scene of destruction that rivals any they left back on Earth. And suddenly, "Fly" and Arlene find themselves face-to-face with an even deadlier enemy than the demons they came to fight. The war for Earth is over. But the battle for the stars has just begun...


The Evolution of Useful Things $10.40
by Henry Petroski

This surprising book may appear to be about the simple things of life--forks, paper clips, zippers--but in fact it is a far-flung historical adventure on the evolution of common culture. To trace the fork's history, Duke University professor of civil engineering Henry Petroski travels from prehistoric times to Texas barbecue to Cardinal Richelieu to England's Industrial Revolution to the American Civil War--and beyond. Each item described offers a cultural history lesson, plus there's plenty of engineering detail for those so inclined.
