Shell structures form key components in a very wide range of engineering enterprise. The theory of shell structures is an old and large subject, with a huge literature. However, this book is not a compilation of results from the past. Instead, it is an attempt to bring the essence of the subject within the grasp of engineers. It tackles the fundamental question of how bending and stretching effects combine and interact in shell structures from a physical point of view; and it shows that this approach leads to an understanding of the structural mechanics of shells in general, and to useful results in particular problems. The first half of the book is concerned mainly with the basic ideas and equations of equilibrium, geometry and elasticity, and their combination in various useful ways.

Follow the wisdom of the Owens sisters with this beautifully illustrated tarot deck inspired by Practical Magic and Practical Magic 2! As Sally Owens once said, there are some things you just know to do: Always throw spilled salt over your left shoulder, grow rosemary by your garden gate, plant lavender for luck, and, of course, fall in love whenever you can.

These 78 spellbinding, beautifully illustrated cards feature key moments and characters from Practical Magic and Practical Magic 2, reinterpreted as Major and Minor Arcana iconography. From Jet Owens as the High Priestess, the beloved Owens house as the Tower, rosemary as Strength, and Gillian as the Star, each card can help you illuminate your goals, desires, and ambitions through the helpful lens of your favorite wi
