Book Description
In the production of illustrated books, the artist's drawing is but a preliminary step; the actual printing is often--though not always--carried off by other hands. Taking as its scope the full breadth of printed book illustration from the 16th to the 20th century, Drawings for Book Illustration documents the influence exerted by such artists as Peter Paul Rubens, Eugene Delacroix, and Alexander Calder on both the aesthetics of the book and the technologies of the press. With thorough descriptions of the lives and works of the artists, and illustrated with sumptious duotone renderings of both preliminary sketches and finished printed designs, Becker's catalogue is a handy guide to this fundamental aspect of the history of the graphic arts.

Book Description
This book offers an analysis of the dynamics of Israeli-European relations and discusses significant developments in that relationship from the late 1950s through to the present day. The emphasis is placed on five broad themes that address different dimensions of the relationship: 1) Israeli-E.U. relations and the Israeli-Palestinian peace process; 2) Israeli-E.U. relations in a multilateral context; 3) the bilateral nature of Israeli-E.U. relations; 4) Israeli (mis)perceptions of the E.U.; 5) the future of Israeli-E.U. relations.

Book Description
PC-Aided Numerical Heat Transfer and Convective Flow is intended as a graduate course textbook for Mechanical and Chemical Engineering students as well as a reference book for practitioners interested in analytical and numerical treatments in the subject. The book is written so that the reader can use the enclosed diskette, with the aid of a personal computer, to systematically learn both analytical and numerical approaches associated with fluid flow and heat transfer without resorting to complex mathematical treatments. This is the first book that not only describes solution methodologies but also provides complete programs ranging from SOLODE to SAINTS for integration of Navier-Stokes equation. The book covers boundary layer flows to fully elliptic flows, laminar flows to turbulent flows, and free convection to forced convection. The student will learn about convection in porous media, a new field of rapid growth in contemporary heat transfer research. A basic knowledge of fluid mechanics and heat transfer is assumed. It is also assumed that the student knows the basics of Fortran and has access to a personal computer.The material can be presented in a one-semester course or with selective coverage in a seminar.
