Aluminum Structures : A Guide to Their Specifications and Design
by J. Randolph Kissell, Robert L. Ferry, Rovert L. Ferry (Contributor)
Despite its unique and enormous advantages, most engineers fail to consider using aluminum, even in structural situations where its strength, light weight, and corrosion resistance should make it the metal of choice. Aluminum Structures: A Guide to Their Specifications and Design offers engineers, designers, and architects a comprehensive guide to designing aluminum structures and, consequently, a rare opportunity to expand their design capabilities quickly. This book's broad coverage includes the properties of aluminum, its structural performance in beams, columns and members, aluminum fabrication, welding and mechanical connections, and its inspection and testing. Special attention is paid to those features of aluminum that differentiate it from other structural materials, most particularly steel. |

The HP Way: How Bill Hewlett and
I Built Our Company
by David Packard, David Kirby (Editor), Karen Lewis (Editor)
In a dry fashion, Packard tells the true story of the mighty Hewlett-Packard Company: Two college buddies begin a partnership by producing an audio oscillator in a Palo Alto garage in 1938 and wind up 60 years later with a $25-billion-dollar electronics company on their hands. He wraps the book up tidily with a time line of the company's development milestones. Packard chalks up success to many things, including government contracts during wartime, but mostly to the company's management outlook ("The HP Way"), which champions openness, honesty, and flexibility throughout the organization. Entrepreneurs and technologists alike will be interested in this journey of an American giant. Packard's tone sometimes veers toward the self-congratulatory, but in this case, it somehow seems justified. |
