This book concentrates on the application of boundary element methods (BEM) to dynamic problems. The authors provide an account of BEM as applied to steady-state and general transient problems in elastodynamics, combining tutorial and state-of-the-art aspects of the method. This book covers many subjects from both theoretical and applied points of view.

There are approximately 50,000 small water supplies in the UK alone, and thousands more worldwide. Dealing with the idiosyncratic characteristics of small water supplies requires specialist&nbsp;knowledge, and this&nbsp;book&nbsp;provides invaluable guidance for professionals. Based on the extensive practical&nbsp;experience of the author, this book&nbsp;covers how small independent supplies differ from public water supplies, and outlines the health dangers they pose, along with detailed instruction in water sampling and risk assessment techniques. Clapham&nbsp;describes the different types of water supplies including their construction and treatment systems,&nbsp;and discusses&nbsp;common problems encountered. A wide range of case studies bring the theory to life, and&nbsp;both&nbsp;UK and European legislation is discussed. There is also a sizeable section dealing with small water supplies in developing countries.

Good writing and communication skills are essential in many areas of science and engineering, to help observation, thinking and remembering, to organize work and to avoid stress. Written by a scientist for scientists, this book is much more than a textbook of English grammar – it is a valuable source of information for all aspects of writing in scientific and technical situations.  The only book focusing on the ways in which writing is important to the scientific community, this book assists readers on:  * how to write and choice of words* using numbers and illustrations* writing project reports, theses and papers for publication* giving a short talk or presentation.  The new edition of Scientists Must Write has been fully revised and updated to take account of the changes in information and communications technology including word processing and information storage and retrieval; new appendices on punctuation, spelling and computers; and useful exercises to improve writing.  This popular guide will be of great use to undergraduates, postgraduates, professional scientists and engineers.
