Casting metal is an age-old endeavor. Michael Schultz's stunning color photographs reveal the process, people, and spectacular motifs of foundry work. Schultz has had the rare opportunity to spend time within these large foundries to capture the work and the workers. This volume is a beautiful, rare look into this world. Schultz's artistic eye and consummate ability to capture industrial settings bring a new and grand view of this industry.

Foundry Work: A View of the Industry

Improving the Effectiveness of Visual Inspection

The American Foundry Society has long been committed to creating and maintaining procedures for mold and core testing. This updated version of the AFS Mold and Core Test Handbook is the direct result of dedicated foundry sand control testing and research that dates back to 1921. It is the product of the faithful and purposeful work of AFS Molding Methods & Materials Division committee members. The test procedures contained in this handbook describe the latest accepted methods for testing foundry sands. These tests and methodologies are the metalcasting industry standards for sand testing and evaluation. Used by foundries around the world, these protocols provide a strong benchmark for operating foundries to measure mold and core effectiveness.

This publication has been adopted as the legal basis for restitution or fines in more than half the states and has been upheld in numerous legal challenges. This current version presents freshwater mussel values that have been substantially refined since their initial appearance in 2003, and updates the comprehensive methods for assessing fish kills and freshwater mussel kill events. Tables containing updated replacement cost values for most major fish species that are cultured and for freshwater mussel species in the USA are included. This book is a must for anyone involved with fish or freshwater mussel kills, propagation, and water pollution policy.

Investigation and Monetary Values of Fish and Freshwater Mollusk Kills

Estimating age structure of fish populations and growth of individuals is fundamental to evaluating fish population demographics and dynamics. This text provides a comprehensive overview of concepts and techniques associated with estimating age and growth of fishes. Although the material presented in the book is applicable to systems around the world, the primary focus is on post-larval fish in North American freshwater systems. The book is organized into four sections. Chapters in the first section (Chapters 1–2) provide an overview of the history and importance of age and growth information, as well as an introduction to how calcified structures grow. The second section (Chapters 3–5) focuses on validation and verification of structures, choice of structures, and sampling considerations. The third section (Chapters 6–9) provides a discussion of the most common structures used to estimate the age of fish. The last section (Chapters 10–12) details methods for data summarization and analysis. This book is intended for practicing fisheries managers, researchers, and graduate and advanced undergraduate students.
