Suitable for seafarers and students alike, this book provides an introduction to all aspects of ship stability and ship strength, squat, interaction and trim, materials stresses and forces, with numerous worked examples to assist masters, mates and engineering officers with qualifications and professional practice.

User interface design is a challenging, multi-disciplinary activity that requires an understanding of a wide range of concepts and techniques that are often subjective and even conflicting. This title explains how to design intuitive user interfaces by focusing on effective human communication.

Synthesizes systems theory and interactive design, providing an operational methodology for defining problems and designing solutions in an environment increasingly characterized by chaos and complexity. This title include chapters on self-organizing systems, holistic thinking, operational thinking, and design thinking.

Businesses and the HCI and Interaction Design communities have embraced design and design research. This book studies three design research traditions that cover methodological directions in research community. Taking you from the Lab, Field and to the Showroom, it shows you successful traditions in design research.

PIC microcontrollers are used worldwide in commercial and industrial devices. This title focuses on the 8-bit PIC which is a versatile work horse that completes many designs. It takes you from introduction of embedded systems through to advanced development techniques for utilizing and optimizing the PIC family of microcontrollers in your device.

Demonstrates how designs can be considered as tools for cognition - extensions of the viewer's brain in much the same way that a hammer is an extension of the user's hand. This title presents visual thinking as a complex process that can be supported in various stages using specific design techniques. It includes many examples.

Based on over 20 years experience, this is a comprehensive one-volume reference on the main types of meat products and their methods of manufacture.

Understanding companion animal anatomy and physiology is the foundation to providing good veterinary care, but the underlying concepts covered in the classroom are not always easy to relate to everyday clinical practice. This title provides a fun and interactive means to test the student's knowledge, using crosswords, word searches, and more.

Explains design and design thinking as something distinct that needs to be better understood - by both designers and the people with whom they need to work - in order to achieve success with different products and systems. This title covers sketching and early prototyping design methods suitable for dynamic product capabilities.

Covers the major manufacturing processes for polymer matrix composites with an emphasis on continuous fibre-reinforced composites. This book covers the major fabrication processes in detail. It is intended for the engineer who wants to learn more about composite processing.

This text gives a practical explanation of what reliability-centred maintenance is and how it is efectively applied. The plant-based approach of the book makes it well-suited for use in industrial training schemes and centres of higher technical education.

Introduces Rapid Contextual Design, a fast-paced, adaptive form of Contextual Design. This book walks you step-by-step through organizing the data so you can see your key issues, along with visioning fresh solutions, storyboarding to work out the details, and paper prototype interviewing to iterate the design.

Shutdown management is project management of a special kind: managing the repair, replacement or maintenance of critical systems. This book shows the maintenance manager how to get the job done correctly. It covers projects ranging from weekend overhauls through to complete plant rebuilds. It includes detailed check-lists and step-by-step guide.
