Principles of naval engineering : propulsion and auxiliary systems /Matthew A. Carr.
"Intended to provide new naval officers with the essential foundation for understanding the specific mechanical systems they encounter in ships, submarines, aircraft, and land vehicles, this textbook covers the basic design and operating principles of the propulsion and auxiliary systems of today's naval forces. Topics include the main components in the propulsion and auxiliary systems for both conventional and nuclear steam propulsion, gas turbine power plants (for both ship and aircraft applications), and internal combustion engines. The text also discusses the fundamentals of pneumatic and hydraulic fluid power systems, as well as heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC&R) systems and desalination systems. Other important components covered in greater detail include pumps, valves, pressure and temperature instruments, and heat exchangers."--Publisher's web site.

A brief history of science : as seen through the development of scientific instruments
"From the earliest prehistory, with the dawning of understanding of fire and its many uses, including cooking and pottery, up to the twenty-first century and the 26-kilometre underground particle accelerator, this is a fascinating exploration of mankind's innovative nature. Thomas Crump describes how our creativity, expressed in the design and production of tools and scientific instruments has continually extended the frontiers of science, and, as a consequence, human civilization. Ever more sophisticted means have been employed in our attempts to understand the universe. The gnomons and sundials of antiquity led on, in Renaissance Europe, to standardized measurements recorded in Arabic numerals. Starting around 1600, the modern age [...] followed with instruments such as microscopes, thermometers and chemical balances, spectroscopes, vacuum pumps and X-rays, particle counters and accelerators, semi-conductors and micro-processors - all continuously developing according to the state-of-the-art technology. The book also describes the apparatus designed to create and observe matter at temperatures close to absolute zero, below that of any gas, where normal properties such as electrical resistance no longer hold."--Provided by the publisher.

The arming and fitting of English ships of war : 1600-1815 /Brian Lavery
"The Royal Navy armed and fitted out literally thousands of wooden warships between 1600 and 1815, and virtually every item of process was the subject of alteration and improvment during this period. For the first time, in this book the precise details of these developments are set out, wherever possible with exact information on sizes and scantlings based on reliable contemporary sources. This makes the book an indispensable guide to all historical ship modellers, but also provides a wider analysis of technological developlment which wil be of great value to maritime historians and industrial archaeologists."--Back cover
