  • We Love Spheres!

    Trisha James

    Paperback (Gareth Stevens Pub, Jan. 15, 2019)
    As early as kindergarten, young learners should be able to identify shapes as "flat" or "solid," according to the Common Core. That includes the difference between a circle and a sphere. In this valuable book, readers will comprehend that spheres, 3-D geometric figures, are familiar objects. In fact, they may see or even play with spherical items every day. Achievable text encourages them to add to their vocabulary, and a concluding activity allows for assessment.

  • Compound Corliss Engines

    James Tribe

    Paperback (Forgotten Books, May 17, 2012)
    Compound Engines, but so much new material has been added and so thorough has been the revision of the old, that it has virtually become a new book. A new name also seems to be appropriate, for since the nearest approach to perfect thermal efficiency is realized in the Corliss type of Engines, and the variable cut-ofF features embodied in the same are assumed in all the examples, it has become desirable to adopt the name Compound Corliss Engines. In its present form it is an elementary Text-B ook on the generation and utilization of heat and the transformation of heat energy into mechanical energy by means of the multi-cylinder Corliss Steam Engine. Although the work is theoretical in treatment it nevertheless aims to be thoroughly practical in its purpose, all of the examples being based upon actual up-to-date practice, and the data from engines which are actually built and running. It is written expressly to meet the needs of the steam engine designer whose knowledge of higher mathematics may be hmited, and who finds himself handicapped by the complex formulae usually found in works on this subject. Preference is therefore given to plainly written rules, rather than algebraic formula ;and all figuring is kept well within the range of the ordinary rules of arithmetic, hence it may not be beyond criticism of the technical graduate. Most of the subject matter and all of the examples are original in treatment, yet great assistance has been had by consulting other authors, among whom are C. H. Haswell, T. M. Goodeve, R. H. Thurston, D. K. Clark, G. C. V. Holmes, William Kent, C. H. Peabody and The Transactions of the A m. Soc. Mech. Engineers, for which due acknowledgment is here made.

This beneficial book, a support to the elementary math curriculum, presents pyramids in the form of objects found in the real world. From toys to lamps, readers will recognize the flat base, triangular sides, and pointed apex that indicate a shape is a pyramid. Colorful photographs perfectly correlate with the approachable, at-level text.

  • Compound Corliss Engines

    James Tribe

    Paperback (Ulan Press, Aug. 31, 2012)
    This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.

We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
