Introduction to the Physics of Waves Tim Freegarde University of Southampton
Balancing concise mathematical analysis with the real-world examples and practical applications that inspire students, this textbook provides a clear and approachable introduction to the physics of waves. It takes a broad approach and builds on the simple physics behind each phenomenon, to engage students and connect theory with practice. ‘This gem of a book will enable students to appreciate the core theme: that understanding wave motion is fundamental to almost every contemporary aspect of physics. This is an ideal purchase for undergraduates as it fills a gap left by traditional textbooks treating the same topics in a stereotyped manner which is too mathematical. Freegarde’s lucid prose alongside the simple, effective and contemporary examples are noteworthy features. The numerous end-of-chapter exercises will be useful for instructors and students alike.’ Ifan G. Hughes, Durham University 2012 246 x 189 mm 309pp 111 b/w illus. 100 exercises 978-0-521-19757-1 Hardback £45.00 978-0-521-14716-3 Paperback £17.99 www.cambridge.org/9780521197571

How to Prepare a Scientific Doctoral Dissertation Based on Research Articles Björn Gustavii Lund University Hospital
The article-based thesis is becoming increasingly common, especially in the ‘hard’ sciences such as biology, medicine and technology. Detailing examples of good versus bad practice, this concise, easy-to-read guide shows the PhD student how to prepare a thesis in this format. 2012 228 x 152 mm 101pp 40 b/w illus. 2 tables 978-1-107-66904-8 Paperback £14.99 www.cambridge.org/9781107669048
An Engineer’s Alphabet Gleanings from the Softer Side of a Profession Henry Petroski Duke University, North Carolina
Written by America’s most famous engineering storyteller and educator, this abecedarium is one engineer’s selection of thoughts, quotations, anecdotes, facts and arcana relating to the practice, history and traditions of his profession. Organized alphabetically, the entries range from brief essays to lists of great achievements. ‘[This] book is a sheer delight and a powerful rebuff to anyone who believes in the persisting stereotype of an engineer as an unimaginative character who ‘speaketh’ in formulae. Petroski fully deserves Joseph Bordogna’s definition of an engineer – ‘society’s master-integrator’.’ Engineering and Technology 2012 186 x 123 mm 368pp 40 b/w illus. 978-1-107-01506-7 Hardback £18.99 eBook available

Engineering Design Representation and Reasoning Second edition Clive L. Dym Harvey Mudd College, California
and David C. Brown Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Massachusetts
This text demonstrates that symbolic representation and related problemsolving methods, offer significant opportunities to clarify and articulate concepts of design to give a better framework for design research and education. This second edition includes recent work on design reasoning, computational design, AI in design, and design cognition. ‘Dym and Brown present a useful resource to bring any design engineer interested in AI, or AI computer scientist interested in design, up to speed on the fundamentals of the field. This new edition also hints at emerging ideas from his active area of research. A very nice book, Engineering Design, demonstrates how AI can impact the research and practice of engineering design.’ Jonathan Cagan, George Tallman and Florence Barrett Ladd Professor of Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University 2012 253 x 177 mm 212pp 58 b/w illus. 978-0-521-51429-3 Hardback £45.00 eBook available
