Adventure and Art: The First Century of Printing accompanies a Rutgers University exhibition that highlights books published during the first century of printing—a transitional time of great innovation and accomplishment. The catalog begins with Gutenberg’s famous 42-line Bible and ends with the magnificently illustrated de luxe editions of the mid-sixteenth century, including the historically significant herbals of Otto Brunfels and Pedianus Dioscorides. Also featured are the exquisite specimens of the Golden Age of French typography, such as the multi-volume folio edition of the Spanish romance, the Amadis de Gaula.             The catalog elegantly displays photographs of each work, including color photographs of the hand-colored herbal woodcuts and exquisite illuminations of fifteenth-century editions of Josephus and Antoninus. An extra feature is an essay by Barbara A. Shailor that analyzes the extraordinary cultural transformations wrought by the invention and refinement of printing. Paul Needham, Librarian of the Scheide Library at Princeton, provides detailed descriptions of the Rutgers incunabula, some of which are not held by any other North American library.            Adventure and Art includes 27 illustrations (6 in full color) and a descriptive essay about Rutgers University Libraries Special Collections.

Subtitled: "An Unrecorded Indulgence Printed by William Caxton for the Hospital of St Mary Rounceval, Charing Cross." Discusses and reproduces in facsimile a previously unknown Caxton printing of an indulgence, found in the form of vellum strips utilized in the binding of a nonce volume of other Caxton imprints in the Rosenwald collection. From the blurb: "In a remarkable feat of synthesis and historical imagination, Needham weaves together the stories of William Caxton, the wealthy cloth merchant who at fifty years of age mastered the newly invented art of printing and took the craft to England, of the broadside indulgence he printed, and of the institution he printed it for. The most common surviving form of early job-printing, indulgence instruments were used to raise funds for the Roman church and its institutions. The Printer & the Pardoner: An Unrecorded Indulgence Printed by William Caxton for the Hospital of St, Mary Rounceval, Charing Cross tells the story of that hospital, notorious for fund-raising activities carried on by such as Chaucer's Pardoner. Literary history, church history, printing history, and political and social history intersect in the study of the Rounceval indulgence. This newly discovered broadside from Caxton's shop becomes the forty-fourth item in a new census of Caxton imprints, published as Appendix D in The Printer & the Pardoner. This "Checklist of Caxton's Printing" includes 111 items, printed in Cologne, Bruges, Westminster, and Paris. It identifies every known piece of printing done by William Caxton and ranges them in a chronological sequence based on Needham's bibliographical researches.

Couplings and Shaft Alignment provides positive practical guidance to engineers dealing with shaft couplings for the transmission of power, and concerned with the related problem of shaft alignment. First published in 1991, this useful text has been revised and reprinted in a more readable, updated format. 
COMPLETE CONTENTS: <ul>
<li> An approach to coupling selection </li> <li> Preliminary choice </li> <li> Gear couplings </li> <li> Multiple membrane couplings </li> <li> Contoured disc couplings </li> <li> Elastomeric element couplings </li> <li> Quill shaft couplings </li> <li> Alignment </li> <li> Effect on machine train dynamics </li> <li> Hub mounting </li> <li> Accessories </li> <li> Nomenclature </li> <li> Coupling data sheet </li> <li> Bibliography </li> </ul>
The book offers a systematic approach to the selection and specification of shaft couplings, and a rational approach to shaft alignment, which can assist in achieving the desired levels of reliability in process plant. It can be wholeheartedly recommended to all practising engineers involved in the design, specification, selection, operation, and maintenance of machine systems involving flexible shaft couplings.
