Excerpt from Notes in Mechanical Engineering: Compiled Principally for the Use of Students Attending the Lectures in This Subject at the City of London College

"The City and Guilds of London Institute for the Advancement of Technical Education" having, in the year 1880, issued a programme of instruction in various subjects, upon the basis of the system so well developed by the Government Department of Science and Art, the author became enrolled as a teacher of Mechanical Engineering in connection with the Institute, and delivered a series of lectures in that subject at the City of London College. His efforts to render the course attractive and useful were fairly successful, as he was able to draw upon a very large collection of diagrams prepared for machine construction and other allied science subjects; and these, supplying the ground work of the illustrations, enabled him to devote some time to the preparation of others specially applicable to the circumstances of the case. However, the very abundance of the information proved in itself a drawback, as the majority of the students, coming totally unprepared by previous training for taking notes, and having but little aptitude for dealing with formul�, or even for the classification of facts, were unable to assimilate the technical food placed before them.

Store Description

Seit �ber 30 Jahren handeln wir mit B�chern. Begonnen hat alles als kleiner Fachbuchhandel in Berlin. Heute sind wir spezialisiert auf den An- und Verkauf gebrauchter B�cher. Noch immer liegt unser Fokus dabei auf den Kategorien: Fachbuch und englischsprachige Literatur. Hinzu kommen B�cher aus allen anderen Genres, wie Belletristik, Biografien oder Kinderb�cher. Unser oberstes Ziel ist dabei die Weiterverwendung von Dingen und die Schonung von Ressourcen. Neben dem Ankauf von privaten B�chern oder Haushaltsaufl�sungen kaufen wir bundesweit komplette Bibliotheken und Buchbest�nde von Institutionen auf, um diese nachhaltig ein weiteres Mal auf den Markt zu bringen. Parallel dazu bietet Buchpark die M�glichkeit, gro�e Mengen einzulagern. Ganze Bibliotheken und umfangreiche Buchbest�nde werden von uns professionell auf Qualit�tsmerkmale hin untersucht und sorgf�ltig f�r den Onlinehandel aufbereitet. Wir schenken B�chern ein zweites Leben.
