Lloyd R. Jenkinson: Aircraft Design Projects

Aircraft Design Projects: For Engineering Students
Typeset by Newgen Imaging Systems (P) Ltd. | 2003 | ISBN 0750657723 | PDF | Pages 371 | 2.39 MB

Written with students of aerospace or aeronautical engineering firmly in mind, this is a practical and wide-ranging book that draws together the various theoretical elements of aircraft design ? structures, aerodynamics, propulsion, control and others ? and guides the reader in applying them in practice. Based on a range of detailed real-life aircraft design projects, including military training, commercial and concept aircraft, the experienced UK and US based authors present engineering students with an essential toolkit and reference to support their own project work.
All aircraft projects are unique and it is impossible to provide a template for the work involved in the design process. However, with the knowledge of the steps in the initial design process and of previous experience from similar projects, students will be freer to concentrate on the innovative and analytical aspects of their course project.
The authors bring a unique combination of perspectives and experience to this text. It reflects both British and American academic practices in teaching aircraft design. Lloyd Jenkinson has taught aircraft design at both Loughborough and Southampton universities in the UK and Jim Marchman has taught both aircraft and spacecraft design at Virginia Tech in the US.

Lisa Z. Sigel: International Exposure

International Exposure: Perspectives On Modern European Pornography, 1800-2000
Rutgers University Press | 2005-02-25 | ISBN 0813535182 | PDF | Pages 283 | 1.13 MB

"This sophisticated, even witty collection goes beyond tired old debates to provide compelling and surprising insights into national cultures of pornography."?Anna Clark, author of Scandal: The Sexual Politics of the British Constitution

"This collection makes an important and pioneering contribution toward demonstrating the historically and culturally specific nature of pornography and erotica."?Lesley Hall, founding editor of H-Histsex Discussion Network for the History of Sexuality "In this courageous, timely, and genuinely groundbreaking work, Lisa Z. Sigel and her coauthors examine the history of pornography in its national and international dimensions. Highly recommended."?Kevin White, author of Sexual Liberation or Sexual License?: The American Revolt against Victorianism

International Exposure demonstrates the wealth of desires woven into the fabric of European history: desires about empire and nation, about self and other, about plenty and dearth. By documenting the diverse meanings of pornography, senior scholars from across the disciplines show the ways in which sexuality became central to the individual, to the nation, and to the transnational character of modern society.

The ten essays in the volume engage a rich array of topics, including obscenity in the German states, censorship in France?s Third Republic, "she-male" internet porn, the rise of incestuous longings in England, the place of the Hungarian video revolution in the global market, and the politics of pornography in Russia. Taken together, the essays illustrate the latest approaches to content, readership, form, and delivery in modern European pornography.

A substantial discussion of the broad history and state of the field complements the in-depth case studies that examine a wide range of sources from literature to magazines, video to the Internet. By tackling the highbrow and lowdown of the pornographic form, this volume lays the groundwork for the next surge of studies in the field.
