Basic Structures provides the student with a clear explanation of structural concepts, using many analogies and examples. Real examples and case studies show the concepts in use, and the book is well illustrated with full colour photographs and many line illustrations, giving the student a thorough grounding in the fundamentals and a 'feel' for the way buildings behave structurally. Three new chapters are added to this revised edition, two of which serve as an introduction to the design process by describing the principles and processes on which structural design is based; showing the range of designs that can be achieved with modern methods. In addition, the concepts of deflection are introduced in a third new chapter. With many worked examples and tutorial questions, the book serves as an ideal introduction to the subject.

Theory and Computation of Electromagnetic Fields1st EditionJian-Ming Jin, The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor 978-0-470-53359-8, October 2010

This book is intended to serve as a textbook for an entry level graduate course on electromagnetics (first seven chapters) and for an advanced level graduate course on computational electromagnetics (last five chapters). While there are several textbooks available for the graduate electromagnetics course, no textbook is available for the advanced course on computational electromagnetics. This book is intended to fill this void and presents electromagnetic theory in a systematic manner so that students can advance from the first course to the second without much difficulty. Even though the first part of the book covers the standard basic electromagnetic theory, the coverage is different from that in existing textbooks. The book covers fundamental theories like vector analysis, Maxwell’s equations and boundary conditions, transmission line theory, as well as advanced topics such as wave transformation, addition theorems, and scattering by a layered sphere.
