Visual Cues is a non-intimidating reference manual, tutorial, and practical guide to scientific visualization for scientists, engineers, and other researchers. It presents actual examples of visualization techniques (that are easy to understand and apply) and reviews the elements of good visual representation of data. By describing these examples, the authors show scientists and researchers that the technique is applicable across disciplines and that the knowledge of additional techniques for analyzing and communicating data may result in advances in any given field of study.

Whether you're looking for data on the latest alloy advances or a forgotten alloy that hasn't been used in years, you'll find what you need in this superb reference book.
Partial contents-Over 50,000 alloys from more than 1,600 companies in 22 countries - áMore than 17,000 new or revised entries.

After fourteen years as an industry-wide standard reference publication, this well known guide to specifications and designations of irons and steels is offered as a completely updated, greatly expanded and easier-to-use Third Edition. Hundreds of individual specifications and designations have been added. The scope of covered industrialized countries is wider and more foreign standards organizations' listings are cited. The cross-reference system is completely redesigned. Similar alloys from around the world are grouped together with the name or grade of material commonly used in the USA and with the UNS number from SAE/ASTM's Unified Numbering System. Chemical compositions are arranged in columns for easy comparison.

This definitive volume is a reorganized, expanded, and updated version of an established and respected guide to equivalent non-ferrous metals and alloys. Cross-referencing of equivalent specifications follows SAE/ASTM's Unified Numbering System (UNS) and makes the identification of a specification easy. Two indexes, one alphanumeric, one by UNS, aid and quicken the task of locating an individual specification within the extensive listings. The book is organized according to nonferrous metals and alloys. Subgroupings appear which provide a comprehensive selection of individual countries. Independent standards-issuing organizations are included as part of the international subgroupings.

This book delivers concrete advice from foremost experts on how to communicate more effectively in the workplace. Beer includes discussions of a variety of approaches such as: writing technical documents that are clear and effective, giving oral presentations more confidently, presenting information visually through graphics, holding productive meetings, and becoming an effective listener.
