Machines constitute an integral part of the textile industry. The global textile machinery market is estimated to grow at a promising rate of 14.5 per cent from 2015 to 2020. This is helping the growth of the world economy, and as economic conditions continue to improve globally the demand for machinery is also increasing. Closer home, the total production value of textile machinery and parts stood at Rs 6,480 crore in 2013-14, according to the Official Indian Textile Statistics 2013-14, released by the Office of the Textile Commissioner. With the objective to foster growth in this sector, Fibre2Fashion.com-the premier business platform for the textile, apparel and fashion industry--had launched the first edition of the 'Machinery Yearbook' in 2012 which was globally well-appreciated. Inspired by its success and demand from the industry, Fibre2Fashion has now come up with the second edition of 'The Machinery Compendium'. This Machinery Compendium serves as a platform that allows wide exposure to machinery manufacturers and their products in the international textile market. It provides an opening to showcase their latest technologies and innovations to worldwide consumers, who can update their technology and application according to the market needs to augment their business. The entire concept is powered by Fibre2Fashion's strength in online and print media. From the health of the industry globally to the India story and what some of the biggest machinery users want, the focus on sustainability and more, this second edition gives a lot to mull over.

The methods and equipment technology employed in the deep foundation industry have improved rapidly in recent years. The ingenuity of civil engineers, the results of new scientific research and the ongoing and new developments in machine technology have all led to the acceleration of this process. Applying technologies that have become very complex, and selecting the suitable machinery and equipment, demand ever more specialized knowledge and practical experience. It has become very difficult for users and manufacturers of special deep foundation machinery to maintain an overview of the level of technology in the sector. Both volumes provide a comprehensive overview of the special deep foundation applications, equipment and processes. They are intended as an aid to planning and implementation, and aim to help practitioners, public authorities, engineering companies and students to broaden and complete their level of knowledge. They are targeted primarily at occupational engineers and applications in the field. The individual chapters discuss manufacturing techniques and potential applications, along with the associated machine components. The specifics of each method and machine technology are examined in detail. Since the first volume of the compendium on Special Deep Foundation was published in March 2008, it has become a standard reference book.

From Blaise Pascal in the 1600s to Charles Babbage in the first half of the nineteenth century, inventors struggled to create the first calculating machines. All failed—but that does not mean we cannot learn from the trail of ideas, correspondence, machines, and arguments they left behind. In Reckoning with Matter, Matthew L. Jones draws on the remarkably extensive and well-preserved records of the quest to explore the concrete processes involved in imagining, elaborating, testing, and building calculating machines. He explores the writings of philosophers, engineers, and craftspeople, showing how they thought about technical novelty, their distinctive areas of expertise, and ways they could coordinate their efforts. In doing so, Jones argues that the conceptions of creativity and making they exhibited are often more incisive—and more honest—than those that dominate our current legal, political, and aesthetic culture.

During the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, the American economy moved toward a manufacturing base and mass production, creating a demand for a literacy that encompassed not only the traditional alphabetic form of expression but also scientific and mathematical notation and spatial and graphic representation. How did the world of learning respond to this demand? What kinds of educational institutions, teachers, textbooks, and patterns of instruction emerged? Edward Stevens, Jr., describes the important technological changes that took place in antebellum America and the challenges they posed for education. Investigating the instruction, curricula, and textbooks used in the common schools, in the mechanics' institutes, and, specifically, at the Troy Female Seminary and the Rensselaer School in upstate New York, he demonstrates how advocates of technical literacy attempted to teach new skills. Stevens shows that the tensions between the liberal and the vocational, between a culture of print and a nonverbal culture of experience, persisted in technical education through the first half of the nineteenth century but were resolved temporarily by a common moral vision.
