<p>This comprehensive dictionary comprises over 1300 definitions and brief articles to provide an extremely useful ready-reference work on solid, liquid, and gaseous fuels. It includes information on the scenes of production of many fuels, such as major coal reserves and large oil and gas fields. The dictionary addresses economics with entries on all major indices for oil, coal, and natural gas pricing. It examines the political perspective, covering the oil-producing countries and OPEC; environmental issues also feature, as do entries on chemical compounds, trade names, industrial processes and much more. Users of the Dictionary will gain an appreciation of the development of fuel and energy technology and sense the continuity or, in some cases, revival of ideas. The Dictionary of Energy and Fuels is a reliable reference work on fuel and energy which will remain of great usefulness.</p>

A photographic study of single-handed general practitioners - doctors who essentially work alone and without the backup of a large practice - in the remote areas of Scotland. The book consists of photographs of the doctors, all with the beautiful landscapes of Scotland behind them. The portraits are accompanied by personal accounts which demonstrate the importance of this type of medical practice to Scotland and the contribution these dedicated physicians make to communities in the Highlands and Islands and oher remote areas of Scotland. The book is also a sociological comment on a particular aspect of medical practice, a reflection of the needs of remote communities and a barometer of the preparedness of the country to answer these needs.

This is a comprehensive work concerning the basic principles of plate theory and its methodology, in which the author includes both plastic and elastic responses in his discussion. The reader is taken from relatively elementary aspects of the topic right through to the most recent research findings. The less experienced reader should benefit from the revision of basic mathematics in the preliminary chapter, and from the worked examples and exercises throughout the book. For the reader with some previous knowledge of plate theory, there is a stimulating discussion of the geometry of surfaces, reference to the most modern applications of plate theory, and an annotated bibliography. The features new to this edition include a treatment of the lower bound methods for plate collapse load studies, and the introduction of a new chapter on the new technology - externally reinforced concrete.
