Book Description
A guide to the everyday working world of engineers, written by researchers trained in both engineering and sociology. Everyday Engineering was written to help future engineers understand what they are going to be doing in their everyday working lives, so that they can do their work more effectively and with a broader social vision. It will also give sociologists deeper insights into the sociotechnical world of engineering. The book consists of ethnographic studies in which the authors, all trained in both engineering and sociology, go into the field as participant-observers. The sites and types of engineering explored include mechanical design in manufacturing industries, instrument design, software debugging, environmental management within companies, and the implementation of a system for separating household waste. The book is organized in three parts. The first part introduces the complexity of technical practices. The second part enters the social and cultural worlds of designers to grasp their practices and motivations. The third part examines the role of writing practices and graphical representation. The epilogue uses the case studies to raise a series of questions about how objects can be taken into account in sociological analyses of human organizations.

Book Description
The C̀ombinatory vocabulary of CAD-CAM in mechanical engineering, ' or, computer-aided design and manufacturing in machining, is to compile the phraseologisms of a coherent set of mostly standardized terms that are commonly used by specialists in the field. This pilot research does not provide an exhaustive list of terms. The dictionary gives a user's guide, the detailed French-English vocabulary, and a short English-French glossary to access terms in the main list.

Book Description
Many authors use abbreviations, acronyms, technical nomenclature and symbols in their publications. The use of such abbreviations without definitions can be very frustrating for the reader. This lexicon is designed to overcome such problems. This unique reference work is the world's most comprehensive list of abbreviations and acronyms relating to the plastics and rubber industries. The 5000+ references have been compiled from the journals, books, trade magazines, reports, data sheets and directories covering rubber and plastics, which are used to create abstracts for the Rapra Polymer Library database.

Book Description
This compilation probably looks like one of the craziest things a human being could spend his or her time on. Yet nobody would wonder at someone taking a short walk every day - after twenty five years that person would have covered a surprisingly long distance. This is exactly the story behind this list, which appeared first as a few pages within the directory StarGuides (or whatever name it had at that time) and as a distinct sister publication since 1990. The idea behind this dictionary is to offer astronomers and related space scientists practical assistance in decoding the numerous abbreviations, acronyms, contractions and symbols which they might encounter in all aspects of the vast range of their professional activities, including traveling. Perhaps it is a bit paradoxical, but if scientists quickly grasp the meaning of an acronym solely in their own specific discipline, they will probably encounter more difficulties when dealing with adjacent fields. It is for this purpose that this dictionary might be most often used. Scientists might also refer to this compilation in order to avoid identifying a project by an acronym which already has too many meanings or confused definitions.
