This book provides information on the stages of machinery design for automated manufacturing and offers a step-by-step process for making it optimal. This is illustrated by numerous examples of technical concepts taken from different manufacturing domains. The author, being a university teacher, sees that teaching curricula and textbooks most often do not provide the answers to the questions: How are things built? How do they work? How does one best approach the design process for a specific machine? Most textbooks emphasize computation theories and techniques and deal less with the physical objects that the theories describe.

Книга английского ученого М. Барбера посвящена одному из самых скандальных событий европейской истории - знаменитому судебному процессу, который в начале XIV в. французский король Филипп IV и папская инквизиция вели против рыцарского ордена тамплиеров по обвинению в тягчайшей ереси (отрицание Христа, идолопоклонстве). В результате богатейший и могущественнейший орден христианского мира, насчитывающий почти двухсотлетнюю историю, был разгромлен и прекратил свое существование. Прошли сотни лет, но по сей день у ордена есть как горячие сторонники, так и яростные противники. Книга М. Барбера - одно из самых авторитетных исследований в мире и первая публикация на русском языке - восстанавливает реальную картину происшедшего; опираясь на огромный документальный и научный материал, автор раскрывает подоплеку и истинные причины уничтожения ордена.

Since the Wright brothers made their famous flight at Kitty Hawk in 1903, aviation has emerged as the indispensable arm of American military power. In this detailed history, Charles J. Gross traces its development from the Wright brothers' triumph over gravity through the air war for Kosovo. Drawing on examples from all periods and all service branches, he explains the roles of politics, economics, and technology in shaping air power in the US armed forces and assesses the impact of military aviation on warfare. Gross discusses major developments in aircraft, doctrine, training, and operations. He also provides discussions of airlift, in-flight refueling, military budgets, industry, and interservice squabbling. He examines Eisenhower's "New Look" and MAD (Mutually Assured Destruction); McNamara's effort to use "commonality" of equipment to cut costs; Kennedy's buildup of the military; the Nixon Doctrine and the failure of air power to resolve the long drawn-out conflict in Southeast Asia; and the growing reliance on American air power in the post-Cold War world. This illustrated volume offers a broad history of American military aviation. Military professionals, scholars, policy makers, and the general public should find this book an invaluable guide to the "indispensable arm."

You will be inspired and challenged to keep at it to produce your own work.
