All geologists need a grasp on basic physics, and in plain language using simple mathematics, this book provides the understanding they need. It discusses a wide range of forces at work in geology against the background of Kepler's and Newton's laws; electromagnetic radiation, atomic structure, and age-dating. Other topics include. electromagnetic radiation, atomic structure and age-dating, heat and heat flow, electricity and magnetism, stress and strain, sea waves, acoustics, and fluids and fluid flow. The book includes basic definitions and dimensions and also some warnings about misunderstanding mathematical statistics, particularly of linear regression analysis, and unenlightened computation.

This volume is the first comprehensive treatment of time to event methodology as it relates to ecological risk assessment. Leading Experts from industry, academia, and government regulatory agencies explain how these methods can be used to extract more useful information from laboratory data than can be gained from the use of simple summary statistics. The book offers a clear introduction to the field through several approaches, from the introductory to the more mathematical. It demonstrates the relevance of time in the analysis and reporting of toxicity data by providing practical examples from the field of environmental toxicology. It also incorporates helpful analogies from other disciplines that more commonly use time to event modeling.

Engineering Modeling and Design is a comprehensive systems engineering text that focuses on systematic principles for designing systems. Concurrent engineering is skillfully illustrated through the use of two major case studies. The text describes how a product design proceeds parallel to the process design, explains key duties of systems engineers throughout the product life cycle, and examines the process of system design in terms of life cycle requirements. Projects and problems are presented throughout the text. A homework solutions/instructor's manual is available from the publisher upon request.
