Handbook of Discrete and Combinatorial MathematicsI like the book's format. There are glossaries at the beginning of each chapter. Each subsection begins with definitions and goes on to facts, then algorithms (boxed and in pseudo -code), lists of mathematical objects, illuminating pictures, examples, lists of applications, and, finally, bibliography and web sources. This handbook will appeal both... | | Environmental Science: In ContextWe completed Environmental Science: In Context while working on assignment in China and Cambodia in June 2008. In Beijing preparations for the 2008 Olympics were nearing completion. The last bits of construction were finishing in a flurry of activity. The city and its generous people readied themselves to put their best foot forward as host to the... | | Earthquake Engineering for Structural DesignAny structural engineer who must cope with seismic design will find this book a valuable resource. …The book is well written and each chapter contains an extensive list of references. The book would be appropriate as a resource in graduate-level structural design courses and for practicing structural engineers.
