I was introduced to Mirabai by an Indian acupuncturist, numerologist, actually mystic, with whom I was doing some healing work. At first meeting I told him about my India background and my experiences with regression therapy. After numerous mumblings of many "Yes, that fits," I impatiently asked, "What fits?" He said, quietly and directly,"You are a reincarnation of Mirabai. Marabai is my saint." In 1988 I decided I would follow Mirabai's life from Rajasthan, where she spent her childhood, to Gujarat, where she spent her final years. On this journey I discovered a good deal about Mirabai - love, devotion, true spirituality - as well as the warmth, generosity and beauty of the people of Rajasthan and Gujarat. In the process, I rediscovered myself. --- from book's back cover

Pattern Design - A Book for Students Treating in a Practical Way of the Anatomy, Planning and Evolution of Repeated Ornament

This book provides a classic guide to pattern deisgn for the beginner in repeat design. Using simple language and many illustrations, it covers most of the design principles and approaches and provides a wealth of information on the construction of the repeat. This is a must have for the refernce library of any pattern designer or textile designer. Originally published in 1903 we are here republishing this improtant works with a new introductory biography of the author. Lewis Foreman Day was a designer and decorative artist, he was also one of the major design reformers of the later nineteenth century – central in promoting the newly propagated Arts and Crafts movement.

This is a detailed handbook on the various vibrational problems that may be encountered in conventional engineering, with information on their causes, solutions, and prevention. “Vibration Problems in Engineering” will appeal to students of engineering, and it will be of considerable utility to those working in related occupations. Contents include: “System with One Degree of Freedom”, “Examples of One-Degree Systems”, “Undamped Free Translational Vibrations”, “Rotational Vibrations”, “Energy Method”, “Rayleigh's Method”, “Forces Vibrations: Steady State”, “Free Vibrations: Transient State”, Free Vibrations with Viscous Damping”, “Forces Vibrations with Viscous Damping”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in a modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.

This vintage book contains a detailed treatise on pattern design, being a practical book for students concerning the anatomy, planning, and evolution of repeated ornament. Complete with interesting information, valuable tips, and a plethora of useful diagrams and examples, this book will greatly appeal to anyone with a keen interest in design. It would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. The chapters of this book include: 'Practical Pattern Planning', 'The 'Drop' Repeat', 'Smaller Repeats', 'Sundry Scaffolding', 'The Turnover', etcetera. This text is being republished now in an affordable, modern edition - complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.

VIBRATION PROBLEMS IN ENGINEERING by S. TIMOSHENKO Professor of Theoretical and Engineering Mechanics Stanford University. Second edition published in may 1937. PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION: In the preparation of the manuscript for the second edition of the book, the authors desire was not only to bring the book up to date by including some new material but also to make it more suitable for teaching purposes. With this in view, the first part of the book was entirely re written and considerably enlarged. A number of examples and problems with solutions or with answers were included, and in many places new material was added. The principal additions are as follows In the first chapter a discussion of forced vibration with damping not proportional to velocity is included, and an article on self-excited vibration. In the chapter on non-linear sys tems an article on the method of successive approximations is added and it is shown how the method can be used in discussing free and forced vibrations of systems with non-linear characteristics. The third chapter is made more complete by including in it a general discussion of the equation of vibratory motion of systems with variable spring characteristics. The fourth chapter, dealing with systems having several degrees of freedom, is also Considerably enlarged by adding a general discussion of systems with viscous damping an article on stability of motion with an application in studying vibration of a governor of a steam engine an article on whirling of a rotating shaft due to hysteresis and an article on the theory of damp ing vibration absorbers. There are also several additions in the chapter on torsional and lateral vibrations of shafts. The author takes this opportunity to thank his friends who assisted in various ways in the preparation of the manuscript and particularly Professor L. S. Jacobsen, who read over the complete manuscript and made many valuable suggestions, and Dr. J. A. Wojtaszak, who checked problems of the first chapter. PREFACE TO THE FIRST EDITION: With the increase of size and velocity in modern machines, the analysis of vibration problems becomes more and more important in mechanical engineering design. It is well known that problems of great practical significance, such as the balancing of machines, the torsional vibration of shafts and of geared systems, the vibrations of turbine blades and turbine discs, the whirling of rotating shafts, the vibrations of railway track and bridges under the action of rolling loads, the vibration of foundations, can be thoroughly understood only on the basis of the theory of vibration. Only by using this theory can the most favorable design proportions be found which will remove the working conditions of the machine as far as possible from the critical conditions at which heavy vibrations may occur. In the present book, the fundamentals of the theory of vibration are developed, and their application to the solution of technical problems is illustrated by various examples, taken, in many cases, from actual experience with vibration of machines and structures in service. In developing this book, the author has followed the lectures on vibration given by him to the mechanical engineers of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company during the year 1925, and also certain chapters of his previously published book on the theory of elasticity. The contents of the book in general are as follows The first chapter is devoted to the discussion of harmonic vibrations of systems with one degree of freedom. The general theory of free and forced vibration is discussed, and the application of this theory to balancing machines and vibration-recording instruments is shown...
