Originally published in 1915, 'the aim of the present book is to present the elementary principles of mechanics in accurate though clear terms and to show the application of those principles to the simpler problems arising in engineering and architectural applications'. Notably, 'the general treatment is based more upon graphical conceptions than upon purely mathematical analysis because experience shows that the mind of the engineering student reasons more clearly from diagrams than from symbols'. A number of experiments are presented, principally those which require the simplest form of apparatus, with answers to exercises supplied at the back. Chapters are broad in scope, detailed and clearly written; chapter titles include, 'Forces and other vector quantities', 'Machines and efficiency' and 'Centre of gravity and centroid'. This vibrant and thorough textbook will be of great value to scholars of physics as well as to anyone with an interest in the history of education.

Originally published in 1965, this book was written to provide 'a not too obtrusive guide' to German poetry from Luther's time up until Brecht's. For the most part, the text consists of poems followed by questions, whose purpose is not to provoke an interpretation or to test knowledge so much as to suggest possible starting-points from which lines of thought or of imagination may run. On the whole, the questions are not meant to be answered one by one, but rather to arouse a certain kind of interest and appreciation. A glossary and a guide for further reading are also included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in poetry and German literature.

Originally published in 1936, this textbook was primarily designed for students of applied mathematics to provide a solid foundation for studies on the practical side of the subject. The book, whilst carefully keeping the groundwork of pure mathematics, covering key elementary aspects of the subject, such as quadratic equations, in the main explores the 'generally understood technical allusions, illustrations, and graded applications'. The book provides multiple useful and challenging exercises and is shaped and established around the syllabus at the time of publication. Chapters are broad in scope, detailed and clearly written; chapter titles include, 'Curved graphs', 'Trigonometry ratios and exercises' and 'Loci'. Aiming to achieve a 'logical sequence of leading theorems, clear deductions and concise, practical applications', this textbook will be of great value to students of engineering mathematics as well as to anyone with an interest in physics, materials science and the history
