This book provides a comprehensive guide to the strength of materials and structures, focusing on their natural properties and how they are tested and measured by scientific processes. The author's approach starts with an introduction to the physical properties of materials, particularly in regard to their strength and elasticity, with later chapters discussing the characteristics of cast iron, wrought iron, steel, copper, and timber. The book also covers the resistance of materials to torsion, shearing, and punching, and to transverse strains, conjoined with impact and vibration. Finally, the author concludes with a section covering the strength of structures, detailing the correct forms and best arrangements of materials for optimum strength and minimum weight and cost. The author deftly condenses the subject in such a way as to be accessible to a general audience, making this book an excellent resource for those interested in materials science or the strength of structures.

John Andeson, chief film critic forNew York Newsday, attended his ninth Sundance in 1999, but this time he did more than screen films and leap for tables at overbooked restaurants. He interviewed performers and filmmakers of all kinds, including top prize winners, but also uncovered the effect of all this ballyhoo on the indie film scene--and on the bemused Park City locals. Alongside the thoughts of Diane Lane, Steve Buscemi, Mike Figgis and other distinguished film people are conversations with festival volunteers, bus drivers, policemen, shopkeepers, and more. Together, they form the most candid, most fascinating, most hilarious, and most human-sized coverage of the Sundance Film Festival ever achieved. Join John Anderson as he goes...Sundancing.
