     Impedance Spectroscopy : Emphasizing Solid Materials and Systems 
     by J. Ross MacDonald, Ross J. MacDonald 
     Usually ships in 24 hours 
     John Wiley & Sons 
     Hardcover - 368 pages 
     (June 1987) 
 

The publisher, John Wiley & Sons 
                     This is the first book-length, integrated treatment of impedance spectroscopy with an emphasis on solid state electrochemical systems. Impedance spectroscopy is a method for characterizing the electrical behavior of systems in which the overall system behavior is determined by a number of coupled processes, each proceeding at a different rate. The scope of this volume is comprehensive: provides coverage of fundamental theory, illustrates applications of the technique, and discusses practical considerations in regard to data acquisition and analysis. Those with little prior experience in impedance measurements will find this an excellent introduction. Senior investigators will find that the book provides a useful summary of fundamentals as well as a survey of recent developments in the field. 

Mastering Mechanical Desktop : Native Solids ACAD Theory 
              by Ron K. C. Cheng 
              Usually ships in 24 hours 
              Autodesk Press 
              Paperback - 256 pages 
              (November 1997) 

Book Description 
                     Building on the foundation of Autocad skills provided in Cheng's Mastering AutoCad R13 book, this brief companion book teaches students  and professional users of Mechanical Desktop how to create three-dimensional solid objects (called "native solids" in Autodesk literature). The book begins with an overview of solid objects and how they are built using a computer; users then move to creating complex solids using Boolean Union and Subtract operations, extruding and resolving 2-dimensional regions and polylines to become solids, and using another Boolean operation, Intersection, to create models. The author explains how to output 3D solid models to paper, generating orthographic and 3D- views in a paper document. Finally, users learn how to produce a 3D structural framework and use constructive solid geometry  techniques in building an architectural project. The book ends with a summary of all solid modeling commands used in the text.

Cellular Solids : Structure and Properties (Cambridge Solid State Science Series) 
             by Lorna J. Gibson, Michael F. Ashby 
             Special Order 
             Cambridge Univ Pr (Short) 
             Hardcover 
             2nd edition (June 1997)

 Book Description 
                     In this new edition of their classic work on Cellular Solids, the authors have brought the book completely up to date, including new work on  processing of metallic and ceramic foams and on the mechanical, electrical and acoustic properties of cellular solids. Data for commercially available foams are presented on material property charts. By unifying the modeling of many different types of cellular solid (for instance, engineering honeycombs, polymer, metallic and ceramic foams, wood, cancellous bone, cork), similarities in the behavior in these diverse  materials are explained. The text summarizes current understanding of the structure and mechanical behavior of cellular materials, and the  ways in which they can be exploited in engineering design.

              Usually ships in 24 hours 
              John Wiley & Sons 
              Paperback - 406 pages 
              (September 1988) 

 The publisher, John Wiley & Sons 
                     Presents a clear picture of the propagation of optical waves in layered media and teaches the reader how to design and analyze optical  devices using such media. Starting from the simplest case of plane wave propagation in homogeneous media, the author introduces a new  matrix method for studying the optical properties of multilayer structures which consist of isotropic materials. He then describes propagation   in anisotropic layered media and in inhomogeneous layers, guided waves, the coupling of modes, and the optical properties of superlattices and quantum wells. Materials covered include dielectrics, crystals, and absorbing media such as metals and semiconductors. Many  applications are described, including spectral filters, Bragg relectors, Fabry-Perot etalons, antireflection coatings, ellipsometry, gradient index  imaging rods, birefringent filters, waveguide couplers, and x-ray mirrors and oscillators.
