j. w . Williams (University of Wisconsin) states in his Foreword: "There have been but few books and articles on sedimentation analysis with such definitive coverage. Professor Fujita has assembled in one place the scattered fundaI'nental theory of the subject, putting the whole of it into a consistent and up-to-date framework."
MA(IIIININ(; ~:I111 CARBINES AND OXIDES, edited by Frank W. Wilson. 524 pages, diagrams, illustrations, 6 x 9 in. New York, McGrawHill Book Co., Inc., 1962. Price, $14.00.
In this amhoritative work prepared under the supervision of A S T M E (American Society of Tool and Manufacturing Engineers), the most significant and practical data available on tool materials, machinability, planning, and economics associated with modern metal removal have been gathered together. In keeping with their major industrial importance, carbides receive: much of the book's coverage, but practically everything useful about oxides which has been proved in actual production is also included. The full potentials of these two materials, as well as their limitations, are thoroughly examined, and developments relating to their composition, properties, and applications discussed in detail.
SYSTEMS EN(;INEI,-RING MATHEMATICS, by J. Eugene Alexander and J. Milton Bailey. 394 pages, diagrams, 6 x 9 in. Englewood Cliffs, Prentice-Hall, Inc., 1962. Price: $13.00 (trade); $9.75 (text). In this work, the authors aim to provide the engineer, mathematician, or physicist engaged in or preparing for a career in electronic, missile. aircraft, or chemical industries, with a basic knowledge of the behavior of electrical, mechanical, fluid and thermodynamic elements and the mathematics for analyzing systems made up of these elements. M a n y practical examples are given with lypical numerical values based on actual e×periences of major industrial firms. They vary in complexity from the simple calculation of a missile steady state roll rate to the system design of a telemetry tracking antenna. The book also includes a complete tabulation of dynamic analogies (also duals), the linearization techniques for analyzing such equipment as vacuum tubes, flapper nozzles, and gas turbines

PHYSICAL METALLURGY FOR ENGINEERS, by Albert G. Guy. 374 pages, diagrams, illustrations, 6 x 9 in. Reading (Mass.), AddisonWesley Publishing Co., Inc., 1962. Price. $8.75. Adapted from the author's "Elements of Physical Metallurgy," this new text employs a significantly ditf'erent presentation. It is designed primarily as a one-semester course to give engineering or science students a basic and quantitative treatment of physical metallurgy. The opening chapter surveys metallurgy as a whole, including some of the more important processes of production and forming of metals. The various aspects of the structure of metals are then introduced: atomic binding, crystal structure, crystalline impertections, and solid phases. The subject of metallography is treated. There are two chapters on phase diagrams cow~ring first a systematic development of the essential concepts, diagrams, and calculations, and then their application to typical commercial alloys. 1)EFONATION :,,Nil Two-PuAsE FH)w, Volume 6 of "Progress in Astronautics and Rocketry," edited by S. S. Penner and F. A. Williams. 368 pages, diagrams, 6 x 9 in. New York, Academic Press Inc., 1962. Price, $5.25. The sixteen papers comprising this volume are divided into two p a r t s - - t h e first (six papers) on detonations in solids, liquids, and gases and the second on two-phase [low as applied lo nozzles (live papers) and to combustion in liquid fuel rocket engines (five papers). Both experimental and theoretical studies are included. The majority of the material was presented at an American Rocket Society Conference held in Florida in 1961. In addition to serving as a reference work, the book presents many challenging problems lor research workers' consideration. SQUARE-LooP FERRI'FI~; CIRCUrrRY, [)y C. J.
