They had us use this book in a GD&T class I took, seemed pretty decent.

I took mine to OfficeMax after I got it, had them chop the spine, laminate the covers, and spiral-bind it. Much more convenient that way.

Edit: Just noticed that that's just a study guide for the book we had, what you really want is https://www.amazon.com/dp/1631261134/ (We only had the one book, and the covers seem to be nearly identical other than the words "study guide" in the corner...)

I just wrote you some long answers. (My survey's the one with the long rants about folding canes held together with bungee cords, and remote controls with tiny buttons.)

Have you read Henry Petroski's book "Small Things Considered: Why There Is No Perfect Design"?

Small Things Considered (amazon.co.uk)

It has a couple pages about the design of the OXO Good Grips vegetable peeler, which led to a huge product line (originally intended for people with arthritis, but embraced by many "normal" people as just plain good design.) OXO also has a blog where they show some examples of their design process:

Are you asking for flavor creation from scratch or are you looking for guidance how to blend premade flavors? I think both has a lot to do with trial and error and to have a good picture of all the things you are mixing together.

Here are some books, although I think this probably too much information and it's questionable how much reading them helps you:

Along with the study guide its pretty comprehensive.

Yes.

When you are going into printed literature, it is best to go for a specialized subject.

There are a lot of books that want to cover everything, but most of them are pretty bad.

One cover-everything book that I do like is How Weapons Work. But that it mostly because I grew up with this book, and it's probably part of what sparked my interest in firearms. Reading it now, it does cover most things, but it barely scratches the surface of each subject.

You need to know what you want to learn from the book.

If you want books for gun identification you have stuff like The Illustrated Encyclopedia Of XXXXX. These books are great as reference to a particular firearm, but doesn't offer much in terms of data or technical details.

If want to get more specific in a specific brand of firearm you have books like Mauser. Military Rifles of the World. Once you get into books about specific firearms the quality increases. You'll rarely go wrong with a book about a very specific subject.

ForgottenWeapons (which in itself is an extremely good reference for old and unusual stuff) has some book reviews every now and then.

If you want to get technical AGI has some nice video armorer's courses. I only have a couple of them, but I'm impressed with what I've seen.

I'm a food scientist currently working for a company in the Midwest. I'll be headed back to grad school in the fall. Have worked/interned for a few food companies and also did research in academia that's published.

I think the best avenue to apply food science in a home setting (coined cooking science) is with molecular gastronomy. Some common ingredients in MG kits are used very heavily in the food industry. As far as resources for the home food scientist, I think the Serious Eats: Food Lab is really good, and books by Harold McGee or Herv­é This are usually great resources for cooking science.

For those interested in food science (the academic subject), Fennema's Food Chemistry is considered the Bible of food science. Fellow's Food Processing Technology is an AMAZING resource for the physics and engineering behind food products. Here's a bunch of other books: http://1drv.ms/1rV9j1m.

I absolutely love this field and consider it the best way to apply knowledge from the pure sciences. If you can work out the buffering potential of a tomato sauce, then run-of-the-mill acid/base chemistry is child's play.

My biggest fear is how much trepidation/malice people have towards many of the big food manufacturers and the outcomes because of that. You can find bottled water labeled "gluten-free" and popcorn labeled "whole grain". It never used to be this way. I think people are really starting to pay attention to what they eat, which is fantastic! The only problem I see is people are getting their information from inflammatory sources, like blogs and sketchy websites. I really hope consumers take the time to gather credible facts before making up their minds. The food industry could definitely do a better job of educating consumers, but alas it's cheaper to just print a new label than launch a marketing campaign explaining what gluten is or what GMOs are.

I also love comparing our food infrastructure to that of other countries. We have, hands-down, the most well-developed food infrastructure on the planet. I'm so glad I got the chance to be a food scientist here, where resources and knowledgeable folks are plentiful. We can eat whatever we want, whenever we want and have virtually no worry over the wholesomeness or safety of the product.

I could go on for days about how great food science is.

Dating handwriting is a difficult thing, but, the important thing here is the presence of some characters from 'secretary' hand. (Look at the 'Secretarie Alphabete here http://www.english.cam.ac.uk/ceres/ehoc/alphabets.html ). In general, you'll find secretary forms being used very commonly up to the 1630s or 40s, and less universally (but still often) in the later decades of the 17th Century. It would be very unusual to see it at all in the 18C. The main conclusion you can make is that the annotator was most likely roughly contemporary with the printing - getting more solid than that would be a chore. And I think a quill would at this point would be correct; wikipedia says fountain pens are starting to get used, but I still think it's most common to make your own quill and ink. (Check this out for more detail http://www.amazon.co.uk/Western-Writing-Implements-Age-Quill/dp/1872477003/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383010783&sr=8-1&keywords=western+writing+implements ) .

Ah, so h e and r don't stand for anything - it's just that they are some of the letters that have a more distinctive 'secretary' style.

I think (and I might be wrong) that one of the reasons such books survive because the common quality of paper back then was just so much higher than it is now, at least in big print-runs. Whereas a modern paperback would go brittle and yellow in less than a decade, that just doesn't happen so quickly with early modern books.

The whole idea of renaissance annotation has been a big growth industry, (at least within academia!) in recent years. Here's a book on the subject that's genuinely interesting http://www.amazon.co.uk/Used-Books-Material-Texts-ebook/dp/B00DPBKJWK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1383010543&sr=8-1&keywords=used+books+sherman .

It's pretty rare to see posts or queries on here that I'm equipped to answer with anything resembling specialist knowledge, so I guess it's just nice to have the opportunity to be useful! Rare books are kind of difficult to get a working knowledge of without prolonged exposure to them, and not everyone has had that opportunity.

well, it's real. But this kind of behaviour ist most probably only visible with newtonian fluids. they have a linear dependancy between the applied force and the flowspeed. (sorry if any terms are incorrect, i'm loosely translating from german to english). you could also do this experiment in water, if you manage the color not to mix.

so... the applied force in this gif/video is konstant and because the rotationspeed is so low, the flow if the fluid is laminar. that means that the fluidlayers shift in place parallel to eachother. no fluidparticles are exchanged tangential. and because the applied force is konstant, the experiment is reversible.

the reason, why this only works with newtonian fluids is, that there are fluidtypes, which change their viskosity according to the applied force. therefore the experiment is hardly reversible. there are also fluidtypes, which change their behaviour over time.

tl;dr the fluidlayers shift parallel to eachother according to their distance to the rotated surface, which is reversible. only works with newtonian fluids.

source: studying energy and processtechnology. took a cource called energy- impulse and materialtransportation, in which basic fluiddynamics are explained. I would cite a book, which is used, but it's in german. aah...but here anyway

There is a book I have on my library list, that as soon as I finish with this book I am working on, I very much want to spend time with, Studies in Ancient Technology: Metallurgy in Antiquity - Copper and Bronze, Tin, Arsenic, Antimony and Iron (Vol 9) by Forbes](http://www.amazon.com/Studies-Ancient-Technology-Metallurgy-Antiquity/dp/9004034870/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=279OH0HZGJQ7V&coliid=I3U18ZPVGITLNC). There might be some info in it that could help you.
