Good Book on Composites MFG.......2007-08-30

This is a good book to read if you don't know much about composites mfg and you want an technical explanation of how to do it. I use the term technical loosley because it is not go to deep into the technical side but gives the technical aspects just enough justice to help understand if you knew nothing beforehand.

Book Description

• One of very few books available to cover this subject area.

• A practical book with a wealth of detail.

This book covers the major manufacturing processes for polymer matrix composites with an emphasis on continuous fibre-reinforced composites. It covers the major fabrication processes in detail.

Very few books cover the details of fabrication and assembly processes for composites. This book is intended for the engineer who wants to learn more about composite processing: any one with some experience in composites should be able to read it. The author, who has 34 years experience in the aerospace industry, has intentionally left out mathematical models for processes so the book will be readable by the general engineer.

Book Description

Advanced composite materials or high performance polymer composites are an unusual class of materials that possess a combination of high strength and modulus and are substantially superior to structural metals and alloys on an equal weight basis. The book provides an overview of the key components that are considered in the design of a composite, of surface chemistry, of analyses/testing, of structure/property relationships with emphasis on compressive strength and damage tolerance. Newly emerging tests, particularly open hole compression tests are expected to provide greater assurance of composite performance. This publication is an "up-to-date" treatment of leading edge areas of composite technology with literature reviewed until recently and includes thermoplastic prepregs/composites and major application areas.

Book Description

In recent years, the fabrication technologies for the production of advanced polymer composites have been revolutionised by sophisticated manufacturing techniques. These methods have enabled polymer composite materials to produce good quality laminates with minimal voids and accurate fibre alignment.

This book familiarises and provides a background to the understanding and use of advanced polymer composites in the civil infrastructure; numerous examples have been provided to illustrate the use and versatility of the material. Furthermore, the book discusses the current fabrication techniques, design methods and formulae for the design of structural composite systems. In addition it discusses the fundamentals of geosynthetics used in geotechnical engineering. The book introduces the fibres and matrices that are used to manufacture composites, their mechanical and in-service properties and their long term loading characteristics; all these properties are specifically associated with the construction industry. The chapters then discuss the design aspects for 'all composite' units, as well as systems used for the renewal of civil infrastructure. Finally, the book demonstrated the unique possibilities of combining composites with conventional materials to form units in which the various materials making up the unit are loaded in the mode that specifically suits their mechanical characteristics.

Amidst the glitzy fanfare of a new world regime, control is unraveling for self-proclaimed god and Global Community potentate Nicolae Carpathia in Desecration, the ninth installment in the Left Behind series. It's 25 days into the Great Tribulation, and the newly resurrected Carpathia evinces an increasing fondness for gruesome killing. He's thrown into turmoil when the first two "bowls of wrath" from the biblical book Revelation are poured out on the world. Water turns into blood, and those who are branded with the mark of loyalty become covered with loathsome sores. When Carpathia commits the ultimate act of desecration against the Judeo-Christian community, chaos ensues. Meanwhile, the Tribulation Force soldiers on, receiving visitations from heavenly messengers that prod the team to greater acts of courage. Jenkins's characters seem almost comic book-like in their actions; the author relies on pages of slangy, slapstick dialogue rather than character development or descriptive settings to flesh out his tales. It's the angst of wondering what disaster will occur next and the fascination with end times that keep loyal fans turning the pages. And there's no shortage of angst here. Chang Wong flirts with suicide. Hattie Durham risks her life in a confrontation with Carpathia. Tsion Ben-Judah inadvertently gives away a secret location. Chloe Williams uncovers a remnant of believers. There are touches of the standard Left Behind humor, and even some romance in the last days. As always, readers are left hanging at the edge of disaster, which should keep appetites whetted for the promised next installment. --Cindy Crosby

Book Description

The exciting ninth book in the Left Behind series that has sold over 2.5 million copies in hardcover is now available in trade paperback. In November 2001 Desecration was #1 on the New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, Publishers Weekly, and CBA Marketplace best-seller lists. With 50 million products sold, the Left Behind series is an international phenomenon.

Just one more book in the all-encompassing, enthralling, and utterly absorbing Left Behind Series.......2007-09-14

From the very first letter of the alphabet that my eyes looked upon inside this series of books, until the very last period of the very last sentence, I was hooked. Each one of these books absorbed my attention like no other book has ever done in my life. Biblically sound, theatrically entertaining, and brilliantly written, the Left Behind books will inspire you to dig into God's word and take the pieces of news from your T.V. screen and match them right smack-dab up with the prophecies of the Bible. Your hair will stand up, your heart will race, and you will find yourself helplessly caught in the suspense. Once you finish one of these books, you will desperately race to your computer screen or your local library to pick up the next one!

Great book.......2007-08-26

We were buying all of the Left Behind books and Amazon had them at a great price. Great reading!

Please people get a life.......2007-03-28

I've read the entire series, I've watched two of the three movies, and I've listened to most of the dramatized audio series. (the first 6 anyway) So for those of you that are insisting that this is all unbiblical please listen closely.

THIS IS FICTION!!!!! CLAIMING THAT THIS IS UNBIBLICAL IS LIKE SAYING THAT STAR WARS DOESN'T FOLLOW THE LAWS OF SOUND IN SPACE!

And if in retrospect it brings ONE person to christ, does it matter? The pre trib/post trib "war" has been going on forever, if this is how these authors wish to portray the return of christ more power to them.

Oh and as in a review, all the books rock!

EXCELLENT SERIES, MUST HAVE...........2007-03-08

LIKE THE PREVIOUS LEFT BEHIND BOOKS, YOU CANNOT PUT THIS DOWN. I READ IT
IN ONE SITTING AND AM MORE DETERMINED TO GET THE WORD OF JESUS CHRIST
TO OTHERS SO THEY DO NOT HAVE TO EXPERIENCE THE TRIBULATION.

Addendum to other negative reviews.......2007-02-10

I largely agree with many of the negative reviews that have been posted already, so I won't go into great detail about why I do not like this novel (or this series, for that matter). However, I did want to add that this book is different from others in the series in the level of violence that is condoned by the Christian characters in their efforts to thwart the Antichrist. There is virtually no reflection on the use of lethal force, and all the main characters seem to silently come to a consensus that God approves of their behavior. I would submit that this is a grey area that deserves much introspection, something the authors do not allow whatsoever.

Additionally, in some respects the book plays like a revenge drama, with the Tribulation Force, along with God himself, relishing their chance to strike back against those who do not share their religion. It is an ugly scene, and certainly contradictory to much New Testament theology. I am, of course, not defending the actions of the Antichrist, but shouldn't Christians hold themselves to a higher standard? I do not believe that responsible humans--Christian or non-Christian alike--should endorse this sort of thoughtless fiction.

Product Description

With over 40 million copies in print, the immensely popular Left Behind¨ series by best-selling authors Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins continues to fascinate and inspire new readers. Desecration: Antichrist Takes the Throne is the highly anticipated continuation of this powerful saga. Twenty-five days into the Great Tribulation, the horror and suffering in the world is intensifying. The Antichrist Nicolae Carpathia--now the complete embodiment of evil--is preparing to desecrate the holy temple in Jerusalem by entering and declaring himself god. But the Tribulation Force of believers has more than a few tricks up their collective sleeve--if only they can continue to operate without being detected by Carpathias sadistic military forces. Skillfully mixing Biblical prophecy and current events, LaHaye and Jenkins pack their story full of action and adventure. Narrator Frank Mullers legendary voice heightens the growing tension of the End Times on planet Earth.
