From Calculus to Cohomology: De Rham Cohomology and Characteristic Classes
Cambridge University Press | 1997 | ISBN: 0521589568 | 296 pages | PDF | 12 MB
De Rham cohomology is the cohomology of differential forms. This book offers a self-contained exposition to this subject and to the theory of characteristic classes from the curvature point of view. It requires no prior knowledge of the concepts of algebraic topology or cohomology. The first ten chapters study cohomology of open sets in Euclidean space, treat smooth manifolds and their cohomology and end with integration on manifolds.

Concrete Solutions
CRC | 2009 | ISBN: 0415550823 | 480 pages | PDF | 11,4 MB
Concrete repair continues to be a subject of major interest to engineers and technologists worldwide. The concrete repair budget for the UK alone currently runs at some UKP 220 per annum. Some estimates have indicated that, worldwide, in 2010 the expenditure for maintenance and repair work will represent about 85% of the total expenditure in the construction field. It has been forecast that, in the same year in the USA, 50 billion dollars will be spent just for the restoration of deteriorated bridges and viaducts.

Potential Flows of Viscous and Viscoelastic Liquids
Cambridge University Press; 1 edition (December 17, 2007) | English | 0521873371 | 516 pages | PDF | 10.23 MB
The goal of this book is to show how potential flows enter into the general theory of motions of viscous and viscoelastic fluids. Traditionally, the theory of potential flows is thought to apply to idealized fluids without viscosity. Here we show how to apply this theory to real fluids that are viscous. The theory is applied to problems of the motion of bubbles; to the decay of waves on interfaces between fluids; to capillary, Rayleigh-Taylor, and Kelvin-Hemholtz instabilities; to viscous effects in acoustics; to boundary layers on solids at finite Reynolds numbers; to problems of stress-induced cavitation; and to the creation of microstructures in the flow of viscous and viscoelastic liquids.

Animal Hunting and Feeding
Chelsea House Publications | May 30, 2009 | PDF | ISBN: 1604131438 | 110 pages | 8.1mb
All animals have to eat, but feeding behavior goes far beyond predators and prey. Animals have a variety of ways to find food. Some sit and wait for food to come to them. Others chase or trap their food. Other animals are scavengers and decomposers, breaking down the leftovers of other animals' meals. "Animal Hunting and Feeding" explains these various techniques as well as the importance of food chains and food webs.
