This best-selling book removes the mystery in building scientific apparatus. It shows how the practicing scientist can capitalize on new and unfamiliar technologies without first acquiring an engineering education in each field. The mechanical, electronic, and optical aspects of most apparatus are reviewed in the construction, selection, specification, and procurement of many important components and are described in a clear, simple manner, making use of hundreds of illustrations. The second edition expands on the first by describing new devices, updating specifications of devices formerly described, and listing many new supplies and manufacturers of components. New topics include turbomolecular pumps, fiber-optics, piezoelectric positioners, position-sensitive detectors, magnetic shielding, new logic families, and new integrated circuits. A chapter on temperature measurement and control and a new, larger index have been added in second edition.Each chapter is followed by Cited and General References, Manufacturers and Suppliers.Building Scientific Apparatus:

First published in 1958, John Hebron Moore's Agriculture in Ante-Bellum Mississippi presents a clear survey of the methods, mechanical and genetic technologies, labor management, and economic viability of the Old South's cotton kingdom as it existed in Mississippi. Moore's objective study is arranged along chronological and topical lines and assesses the agricultural history of the whole state to the eve of the Civil War without romanticism. Moore offers an insightful history of Mississippi's transition from the soil-exhausting frontier agriculture of the early Natchez era to the largely self-sufficient, scientifically based, and highly profitable upland cotton farming that followed in the 1850s and 1860s. The work is distinguished in its thorough discussion of the development of cotton culture in the Natchez District as independent from the efforts of cotton planters along the Atlantic Coast, its exploration of antebellum cotton breeding techniques, and its analysis of the role of the 1837-49 economic depression as the impetus for agricultural renaissance that made cotton Mississippi's most profitable crop in the 1850s. In a quiet manner, Moore's book anticipated the methodologies of Robert William Fogel and Stanley L. Engerman's Time on the Cross: The Economics of American Negro Slavery (1974) and the temperament of Eugene D. Genovese's Roll, Jordan, Roll: The World the Slaves Made (1974).    This Southern Classics edition includes a new introduction by agricultural historian Douglas Helms that places the book within the historical context of its original publication and discusses how its influence has become interwoven in current scholarship.
