This edition includes the changes needed to address the trends in the market by rewriting &amp; expanding the coverage of the 2nd law of thermodynamics. For over 25 years, Fundamentals of Thermodynamics was the best-selling book in the field. This book has since been revised to be more applied, and focuses on the second law of thermodynamics and the resulting energy analysis techniques. For the past three decades, Sonntag, Borgnakke, and Van Wylen2s FUNDAMENTALS OF THERMODYNAMICS has been the leading textbook in the field. Now updated and enhanced with numerous worked examples, homework problems, and illustrations, and a rich selection of Web-based learning resources, the new Sixth Edition continues to present a comprehensive and rigorous treatment of classical thermodynamics, while retaining an engineering perspective. The text lays the groundwork for subsequent studies in fields such as fluid mechanics, heat transfer and statistical thermodynamics, and prepares students to effectively apply thermodynamics in the practice of engineering.

This introduction to materials science covers all the core topics of the subject. This Second Edition of Fundamentals of Materials Science and Engineering continues to take an integrated approach to the topic organization. One specific structure, characteristic, or property type at a time is discussed for all three basic material types--metals, ceramics, and polymeric materials. This order of presentation allows for early introduction of non-metals and supports the engineer's role of choosing a material based on its characteristics. Very good book!

The experts agree . . . your prospects will soar after Finding Your Wings "As the manager of an active SBA lender, I see hundreds of young companies apply for debt financing without success. Finding Your Wings provides unique insight into obtaining one of the key funding alternatives, namely, 'angel' investors." -- Ralph Barnett President, Bay Area Association of Government Guaranteed Lenders "This is a must-read for anyone to effectively and efficiently access the 'angel' investor." -- Scott L. Kelly Vice President, Baraban Securities, Inc. "Finding Your Wings provides a valuable tool set to anyone seeking private capital." -- Mitchell Stevko Investment Banker, Van Kasper & Company "Finding Your Wings is a clear and concise guide for the entrepreneur on how to approach the 'business angel' market for investment funding. Overshadowed by venture capital and investment banking, the private investor represents a viable and growing source of funding." -- Ronald C. Lynch Vice President, Multifinance Holding Corp. "Finding Your Wings is a groundbreaking text for helping entrepreneurs improve the odds of obtaining the capital necessary to grow their companies. Anyone who is raising capital for a small business should read this book." -- R. Thomas Goodrich General Partner, Duff, Ackerman, Goodrich & Associates, L.P. "Finding Your Wings provides important and practical insights, directions, and assistance for those entrepreneurs looking for appropriate options to funding early-stage and seed ventures." -- Lucien Ruby Managing General Partner, Quest Ventures Finding Your Wings Capital. It is the single most important ingredient to getting your venture off the ground. But finding it can be a challenge -- particularly if you're running out of funding options. Suppose your venture is too small for institutional players. What do you do once you've exhausted your personal financial resources? Where do you go after the banks, the leasing companies, the venture capital firms? What you need is an "angel"--a private investor with high net worth. In Finding Your Wings--the only book of its kind--Gerald A. Benjamin and Joel Margulis provide you with a roadmap to guide you to your private angel. As a primary source of capital for early-stage and growing companies, this specialized segment of the investor market is a vital resource for today's entrepreneurs. However, much like the capital they provide, these private equity and debt investors remain true to their name--private. Finding Your Wings offers a solid set of tools with which you can, first, determine whether private investors are a viable and appropriate source of capital for your venture; and, second, develop a winning strategy to locate, contact, and establish relationships with these angel investors. Most importantly, with a greater understanding of the private investor perspective, you'll be able to frame an attractive--and effective--investment proposal. Finding Your Wings will teach you about: <ul> <li>The structure of the direct, private investor market</li> <li>Alternative sources of capital</li> <li>Different types of private investors</li> <li>What angels look for in a deal</li> <li>The role of the placement agent in raising private capital</li> <li>Building your own database of investors</li> </ul> Plus, a special appendix will walk you through the entire process of writing a business plan. With in-depth information you won't find elsewhere, Finding Your Wings is the book to turn to when you're looking to get your venture up and running.
