This report reviews engineering's importance to human, economic, social and cultural development and in addressing the UN Millennium Development Goals. Engineering tends to be viewed as a national issue, but engineering knowledge, companies, conferences and journals, all demonstrate that it is as international as science. The report reviews the role of engineering in development, and covers issues including poverty reduction, sustainable development, climate change mitigation and adaptation. It presents the various fields of engineering around the world and is intended to identify issues and challenges facing engineering, promote better understanding of engineering and its role, and highlight ways of making engineering more attractive to young people, especially women.--Publisher's description.

Escape to the Cornish cliffs in the dizzying heat of August 1939, where five cousins are making the most of the last summer of their youth. Oliver is just back from the Spanish Civil War and world-weary at only nineteen. Calypso is gorgeous, utterly selfish and determined to marry for money. Polly and Walter, brother and sister, play their cards close to their chests. Then there's little Sophie, who nobody loves. Soon the world will be swept into war again and the five cousins will enter a whirligig of sex, infidelity, love and loss, but for now they have one last, gaspingly hot summer at the house by the cliffs with the camomile lawn. A beloved bestseller from an author ahead of her time, The Camomile Lawn is a waspishly witty, devil-may-care delight.

World Development Report 1994 examines the link between infrastructure and development and explores ways in which developing countries can improve both the provision and the quality of infrastructure services. In recent decades, developing countries have made substantial investments in infrastructure, achieving dramatic gains for households and producers by expanding their access to services such as safe water, sanitation, electric power, telecommunications, and transport. Even more infrastructure investment and expansion are needed in order to extend the reach of services - especially to people living in rural areas and to the poor. But as this report shows, the quantity of investment cannot be the exclusive focus of policy. Improving the quality of infrastructure service also is vital. Both quantity and quality improvements are essential to modernize and diversify production, help countries compete internationally, and accommodate rapid urbanization. The report identifies the basic cause of poor past performance as inadequate institutional incentives for improving the provision of infrastructure. To promote more efficient and responsive service delivery, incentives need to be changed through commercial management, competition, and user involvement. Several trends are helping to improve the performance of infrastructure. First, innovation in technology and in the regulatory management of markets makes more diversity possible in the supply of services. Second, an evaluation of the role of government is leading to a shift from direct government provision of services to increasing private sector provision and recent experience in many countries with public-private partnerships is highlighting new ways to increase efficiency and expand services. Third, increased concern about social and environmental sustainability has heightened public interest in infrastructure design and performance.

This book has been developed from a workshop on Technological change in agriculture and tropical deforestation organised by the Center for International Forestry Research and held in Costa Rica in March, 1999. It explores how intensification of agriculture affects tropical deforestation using case studies from different geographical regions, using different agricultural products and technologies and in differing demographic situations and market conditions. Guidance is also given on future agricultural research and extension efforts.

Through ten editions, Fox and McDonald's Introduction to Fluid Mechanics has helped students understand the physical concepts, basic principles, and analysis methods of fluid mechanics. This market-leading textbook provides a balanced, systematic approach to mastering critical concepts with the proven Fox-McDonald solution methodology. In-depth yet accessible chapters present governing equations, clearly state assumptions, and relate mathematical results to corresponding physical behavior. Emphasis is placed on the use of control volumes to support a practical, theoretically-inclusive problem-solving approach to the subject. Each comprehensive chapter includes numerous, easy-to-follow examples that illustrate good solution technique and explain challenging points. A broad range of carefully selected topics describe how to apply the governing equations to various problems, and explain physical concepts to enable students to model real-world fluid flow situations. Topics include flow measurement, dimensional analysis and similitude, flow in pipes, ducts, and open channels, fluid machinery, and more. To enhance student learning, the book incorporates numerous pedagogical features including chapter summaries and learning objectives, end-of-chapter problems, useful equations, and design and open-ended problems that encourage students to apply fluid mechanics principles to the design of devices and systems.

Special Features: · Foreword by Prof. C.N.R. Rao, National Research Professor and Linus Pauling Research Professor & Chairman, Scientific Advisory Council to the Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Bangalore.· Excellent authorship.· This book is an authoritative source for understanding the subject of the clean conversion of biomass to energy and upgraded fuels - gases and liquids for heat, electricity and transportation from the vantage point of developing countries like India and other oil importing nations bestowed with bio-resource. · There is no book that addresses the progress in the science and technology of modern approaches to conversion of biomass to energy and clean fuels with developing country context in mind. The books available today are also not of a nature that approaches the subject from the view point of fundamentals particularly with reference to new technologies. · Summary and questions at the end of each chapter.· Numerous illustrations. About The Book: This book is an authoritative source for understanding the subject of the clean conversion of biomass to energy and upgraded fuels - gases and liquids for heat, electricity and transportation from the vantage point of developing countries like India and other oil importing nations bestowed with bio-resource. It aims at creating an understanding of (a) the magnitude and nature of biomass resources for energy and fuels, largely for India, (b) the variety of processes that are available for conversion of the wastes into energy or fuels, (c) the processes, both microbial (anaerobic digestion) and thermo-chemical (combustion and gasification) and a critical assessment of the performance on a technical and environmental basis addressing those approaches that make greater importance in terms of scale to developing countries like India, (d) processes that have not reached the commercial relevance yet - like Stirling engine, fuel cells, in particular direct carbon fuel cell and microbial fuel cell and could become relevant in coming times, (e) the routes for liquid bio-fuels - first generation fuels like ethanol and plant oils as well as second generation fuels such as cellulosic ethanol and gasification -Fischer-Tropsch synthesis based biodiesel.
