Download or read book The Book Proposal Book written by Laura Portwood-Stacer and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2021-07-13 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A step-by-step guide to crafting a compelling scholarly book proposal—and seeing your book through to successful publication The scholarly book proposal may be academia’s most mysterious genre. You have to write one to get published, but most scholars receive no training on how to do so—and you may have never even seen a proposal before you’re expected to produce your own. The Book Proposal Book cuts through the mystery and guides prospective authors step by step through the process of crafting a compelling proposal and pitching it to university presses and other academic publishers. Laura Portwood-Stacer, an experienced developmental editor and publishing consultant for academic authors, shows how to select the right presses to target, identify audiences and competing titles, and write a project description that will grab the attention of editors—breaking the entire process into discrete, manageable tasks. The book features over fifty time-tested tips to make your proposal stand out; sample prospectuses, a letter of inquiry, and a response to reader reports from real authors; optional worksheets and checklists; answers to dozens of the most common questions about the scholarly publishing process; and much, much more. Whether you’re hoping to publish your first book or you’re a seasoned author with an unfinished proposal languishing on your hard drive, The Book Proposal Book provides honest, empathetic, and invaluable advice on how to overcome common sticking points and get your book published. It also shows why, far from being merely a hurdle to clear, a well-conceived proposal can help lead to an outstanding book.

Download or read book A MONOGRAPH ON TECHNOLOGY OF CERAMICS AND COMPOSITES written by Dr Amarendra Kumar Das and Mrs Renuka Das and published by BFC Publications. This book was released on 2024-02-09 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is all about the exceptionally important materials which are known as ceramics. In simple terms, ceramics are defined as nonmetallic inorganic compounds, which are either found in nature (mines) or synthesized in production plants. Exception being carbon, which is although an element, is used in making many ceramic products. Ceramics are generally manufactured under high temperature, although in some process, it is not so (as in SOL-GEL) process, which is a chemical process). Most popular ceramics are Refractories (used in high temperature industries), Insulators (For electrical transmission and as Electronic capacitors), Permanent Magnets, Semi-conductors (for Electronics, Computers, Mobiles etc.), Super-conductors (used in levitation function of Bullet Trains/other high speed transportation systems, in conjuction with their magnetic repulsive orientation), Fuel Cells (Energy storage for Automobiles and other sectors), Atomic Energy Plants, Rockets, Space-crafts, Missiles etc.) Traditionally ceramics find use as Pottery & Porcelain. Glass is also an important ceramic material, which are used in different ways, in homes & hotels, crystal wares, opaque wares (like LAOPALA), as glass sheets in Building & Automobiles as well as other transportation systems. Besides they are used in Telecommunication as “OPTICAL FIBRE”. To enhance the properties of Ceramics, other Materials (like Carbon, Metals, Polymers etc.) are combined with ceramics to produce “composites”. Most popular composites are CMC (Ceramic Matrix Composite) and MMC (Metal Matrix Composite). Building Materials like Bricks, Tiles, Sanitarywares, Cement , Concrete etc. are also ceramic materials.

Download or read book Thrifty Science written by Simon Werrett and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-01-09 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If the twentieth century saw the rise of “Big Science,” then the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were surely an age of thrift. As Simon Werrett’s new history shows, frugal early modern experimenters transformed their homes into laboratories as they recycled, repurposed, repaired, and reused their material possessions to learn about the natural world. Thrifty Science explores this distinctive culture of experiment and demonstrates how the values of the household helped to shape an array of experimental inquiries, ranging from esoteric investigations of glowworms and sour beer to famous experiments such as Benjamin Franklin’s use of a kite to show lightning was electrical and Isaac Newton’s investigations of color using prisms. Tracing the diverse ways that men and women put their material possessions into the service of experiment, Werrett offers a history of practices of recycling and repurposing that are often assumed to be more recent in origin. This thriving domestic culture of inquiry was eclipsed by new forms of experimental culture in the nineteenth century, however, culminating in the resource-hungry science of the twentieth. Could thrifty science be making a comeback today, as scientists grapple with the need to make their research more environmentally sustainable?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the author's lectures to graduate students of geosciences, physics, chemistry and materials science, this didactic handbook covers basic aspects of ceramics such as composition and structure as well as such advanced topics as achieving specific functionalities by choosing the right materials. The focus lies on the thermal transformation processes of natural raw materials to arrive at traditional structural ceramics and on the general physical principles of advanced functional ceramics. The book thus provides practice-oriented information to readers in research, development and engineering on how to understand, make and improve ceramics and derived products, while also serving as a rapid reference for the practitioner. The choice of topics and style of presentation make it equally useful for chemists, materials scientists, engineers and mineralogists.
