5.0 out of 5 stars
Sheet metal fabrication , September 13, 2008

By A. J. Mowatt-Wilson (New Zealand) - See all my reviews(REAL NAME)
  

I have several other books on this subject and I still found it very practical and informative. Articles on shrinking panels very good. Worth buying.

The Hall of Two Truths (Paperback)

The Hall of Two Truths

Framed in the context of a love story and its spiritual aftermath twenty years later, this tragicomic adventure reveals social implications of the cosmic order through the strange ¡°geophysics¡± of a very strange man. The story will take you from the majestic shores of the Andaman Sea to the ancient temples of Malta, and into the ridiculous trials of forty nationalities striving to keep a ramshackle oil field running in the Libyan Sahara.It will take you on an incredible journey up the Nile in a supreme effort to preempt a terrorist plot. And this madcap action will give you a glimpse into the meaning of the pyramids and Stonehenge. It will show you how the biosphere has evolved to give us three minds, not one. It will show you how to outreach your birth and your death and transcend the whole of natural history. It will make you happy and sad and wonder profoundly. It will entertain and excite you while making you think as never before.

About the Author
Robert Campbell is a Chemical Engineer with extensive experience in the petroleum industry in Canada and various oil fields in the Libyan Sahara and Saudi Arabia. Revelatory insights into the cosmic order inspired him to find ways to express them over the past thirty years. They were first described in Fisherman’s Guide, Shambhala, Boston, 1985.

The Sea's Bitter Harvest: Thirteen Deadly Days on the North Atlantic

From Publishers Weekly
This gripping narrative elaborates Campbell’s eight-part Philadelphia Inquirer series on a disastrous 13-day period in January 1999 when four commercial clam boats sank while fishing in the Atlantic Ocean. Campbell was able to get close to many surviving fisherman and their families, and their stories, plus Campbell’s own extensive research on the clam fishing industry, make for a moving, balanced picture of a disaster greatly exacerbated by poor safety standards, negligent industry practices, and the recalcitrance of the fishermen themselves. As Campbell recounts the wrecks, fascinating details of clam fishing emerge: the extensive drug use among fishermen; the quick, bitter results of hypothermia at sea; and the proper loading rules for clams and quahogs the two quarry upon whose capture a fishing boat’s success is marked. As Campbell makes clear, even the most skilled fishermen often have little real understanding of vessel stability. This, along with the fact that many clam boats were not required to have inspections and the “very design of many fishing boats in the United States is suspect, according to the naval architects,” helped produce disastrous results. Campbell’s dramatic, highly personal reconstruction of the accidents and the sailors’ last few days on land will remind readers of The Perfect Storm. Copyright 2002 Cahners Business Information, Inc.

From Booklist
In the winter of 1999, four clam boats were lost in the North Atlantic. One sank because of a navigational error and without loss of life, but the other three took a total of 10 men with them. Causes included bad weather, questionable seamanship, poor maintenance, the fact that a fully loaded clam dragger violates most principles of naval architecture, and understaffing of the Coast Guard’s usually valiant inspection and search-and-rescue efforts. Campbell combines portraits of the men–warts and all, with two of those warts being high incidences of drug use and marital trouble–the boats, and the industry (including its regulations, improbable hardware, and prey) with the actual events of that two-week period, the deadliest in the East Coast clam fisheries’ history. An altogether absorbing book and a reminder that humble clam chowder is paid for in lives and that going to sea in ships for one’s living will always be dangerous. A worthy shelf mate for Sebastian Junger’s Perfect Storm (1997) and Patrick Dillon’s Lost at Sea (1998). Roland GreenCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved

How to Master Airbrush Painting Techniques (Motorbooks Workshop)

Airbrush painting is an art like any other, requiring talent and skill; but it is also a technology that, more than other art forms, calls for technical mastery of equipment used in the process. JoAnn Bortles, one of the top airbrush artists in the United States, has developed a teaching curriculum for mastering both the technology and techniques needed to be a successful airbrush artist-an approach that frees her students to develop their own airbrush art. How to Master Airbrush Painting Techniques presents this curriculum in a logical, step-by-step fashion. Along with guiding readers through a series of projects, Bortles also provides all the knowledge needed for developing projects. Not only does her book explain what to do in a clear, easy-to-follow way, it explains why.

Book DescriptionJoAnn Bortles, one of the top airbrush artists in the United States, shares her curriculum for mastering both the technology and techniques needed to be a successful airbrush artist. In a linear, step-by-step fashion, Bortles guides you through a series of projects, and provides all the knowledge needed for developing projects of your own—along the way explaining not only what to do, but why. Unlike other books about airbrushing, this one is not confined to particular kinds of vehicles or surfaces; it covers all types of cars and motorcycles—any “canvas” the aspiring airbrush artist might choose to paint.

Teaching Reading to Adults: A Balanced Approach

Review
A must-read, must-buy, must-use reference for adult and family literacy professionals. — Marg Rose, Executive Director, Literacy Partners of Manitoba

This is an ideal resource for adult educators who want to deepen their theoretical and practical knowledge about reading assessment and instruction. The author situates “balance” not only within the context of methodology, but also within the broader context of reading the word and the world. The intended audience for this book is adult basic education and ESL instructors, trainers, reading specialists, administrators, literacy coordinators, and graduate students.

The Artist’s Handbook (Paperback)

The Artist's Handbook

From Booklist
In this handsome and substantial handbook, a classic approach to the technical aspects of art, British artist Smith presents a wealth of information on established materials that he organizes first by function–pigments, resins, solvents, and the like–then by media categorized according to discipline. For instance, his section on drawing contains detailed entries on oil pastels, charcoal, and conte crayon. Painting elicits descriptions and depictions of the uses of watercolor, oils, and acrylics. In the printmaking and digital media and photograpzxzhy categories, Smith focuses more on method than media, with subsections on intaglio, lithography, and screenprinting in the former, and, in the latter, a 10-page discussion of computer manipulation of digital images. Throughout, he amply employs full-color illustrations and demonstrations as examples and teaching aids. This excellent overall guide to the visual arts boasts multiple appendixes on color, perspective, health, and safety. With glossary and index, this far-ranging overview is hard to beat. Whitney ScottCopyright © American Library Association. All rights reserved
–This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Designed to instruct, inspire, and broaden the skills of anyone interested in all aspects of art from drawing, painting, and printmaking to digital media and applied techniques - this book contains step-by-step projects, conservation and framing information, and glowing reproductions of the great masters.

The Home Water Supply: How to Find, Filter, Store, and Conserve It

Knowledgeable discussion of home water systems, potential water problems, and practical, money-saving solutions.

From the Back Cover
If you live in the country or suburbs, you’ve had, are having, or will have water problems. What’s yours? Not enough water? Too much? Tastes terrible? The pump quits? The water’s contaminated? No matter what it is, author Stu Campbell addresses it in this book, and offers down-to-earth solutions in language understandable to all of us who aren’t plumbers. Campbell had coped with water problems in both the East and the West, from the many-state shortages of the West to a cantankerous pump in Vermont. And he’s probed the minds of experts — dowsers, well diggers, plumbers, electricians, and those who know about the flow of water deep underground. In a friendly, knowledgeable manner, Campbell discusses your difficulties. He provides concrete and money-saving answers to questions that range from locating water to digging a pond to hooking up the plumbing in your home. You’ll know when to try something yourself, when to call a plumber or other expert. You’ll learn — How to find water. — How to move it. — How to purify it. — And how to store and distribute it in your home. Bob Vogel’s illustrations take much of the mystery out of things as the underground flow of water and how pumps and other water-linked equipment operate.
