GREAT ,NICE GIFT & VERY HELPFUL INFORMATION.......2006-11-10

IF YOU REALLY LOVE OLD CLASSIC CARS, I'D REALLY RECOMMEND GETTING THIS BOOK. (VERY DETAILED INFORMATION!)

Good E-body reference, but..........2006-09-14

This book is well organized and has a plethora of useful information, including part numbers and photographs. However, the author appears to be chiefly interested in the "E-body" cars (1970-74), as opposed to the "A-body" Barracudas (1967-69). The amount of information on the A-bodies is disappointingly small, and I noted several statements that are factually incorrect, as well as overly sweeping generalizations, and confusions between similar features. I personally am mainly familiar with the A-body cars, and I am willing to give the author the benefit of the doubt and assume that the E-body information is accurate. I am even willing to recommend this book to A-body owners, with the caveat not to take every statement at face value -- the part numbers and other statistical information are probably worth the price.

Good reference source.......2006-01-20

This book is loaded with info, codes, casting numbers, diagrams, and photos. There is a lot of useful info. Many of the diagrams look to be directly taken from Plymouth/Dodge chasis and body manuals, but with additional info. If you are going to do a complete A to Z restoration, you will need more info than what is offered here, but show me one single book that covers an entire restoration on E-bodies, and I will buy it. Its my observation that you need a full library of reference sources and this book has its place.

not a restoration book!.......2000-08-23

If you want to know what the proper tire pressure for a 'cuda or challenger was or what color the aircleaner was, get this book. If you want help or guidance fixing up your car, look elsewhere. This book will tell you all about what the original specifications were for these cars (which might be helpful to some) but has no information on how to repair them to the point where knowing which direction a sticker faced would help.

Information not "restoration".......2000-05-25

This is a great book of information , but definately NOT a "restoration" guide. It provides good information about the options and details to each year make and model but not much more. If you are looking for details about restoring your car (chalk marks, correct finish's, fasteners, etc) keep looking elsewhere. There are also numerous errors contained in this book as well as the "Charger, Roadrunner, Superbee Authentic Resto Guide" written by the same author, no surprise there! Buy it for the information, but don't think you're gonna take home any show trophies after reading it .

Four years before the scientific mast.......2006-11-28

These letters written by a common sailor during a sea voyage more than a century ago have greater general interest today than might at first appear. The Challenger Expedition was once famous, followed by the public with more sustained interest than would be likely today for a scientific quest that lasted nearly four years, 1872-76.
Editor Philip Rehbock, a historian at the University of Hawaii, suggests that little of scientific interest is to be expected, inasmuch as HMS Challenger's work was reported in some 50 volumes. This turns out to be not quite accurate.
But the greatest interest is indeed personal and not scientific. The letter-writer, Joseph Matkin, was an intelligent teenager when the voyage began, and even though so young had already made voyages to Australia. He wrote the letters into a book of nearly 700 pages. This survived; few of the original letters did.
One blanches to think of reading 700 pages of letters written today by a teen who left school at 12, if indeed such a production is even conceivable. But Matkin writes beautifully and thoughtfully. More than once he thanks his father for the superior education he and his brothers received.
These letters are still readable because Matkin was genuinely curious about all the people he encountered. Not much is told about individual shipmates, except when they died by accident, disease or suicide, as they frequently did. Nor was he, as an assistant clerk, allowed much freedom to explore ashore.
So we see here his impressions of groups, not of individuals. Yet his assessments were not superficial. He read up on each place he visited, but was independent enough to disagree with his social betters about things.
Usually, he found exotic people rather more capable than his books had led him to expect, though not always. Rehbock is surprised that he is so tolerant, but perhaps he was no more so than average.
Rehbock's light annotation is adequate, but irritating because he apologizes beforehand for Matkin's 'ethnocentricity' every time he finds the locals not up to snuff. This becomes ridiculous when Rehbock puts figurative quotation marks around the word primitive. Some of the peoples encountered by the Challenger had not even attained agriculture. If that isn't primitive, what is?
On subjects less touchy to the politically correct, Rehbock lets Matkin speak without glossing him, and Matkin occasionally delivers a delightful or trenchant line. Sloths looked to him 'like a bundle of old hay,' and at Epi, New Hebrides, 'there are no missionaries for they ate one at Erromango a short time since.'
In Hawaii, he found the kanakas 'undoubtedlyh the most civilized of the Pacific races, but, unfortunately, it is this civilizing process that is killing them so fast.' When he got to Tahiti, he liked the Tahitians even better.
His Honolulu letter contains the fresh scientific information that makes this volume so valuable.
If you look carefully at any presentation on global warming, you will eventually find the Challenger Expedition. It was the first attempt to record seawater temperatures across the globe (not just in one ocean; that had been done before) and for several vast areas its records are the only source of information about conditions in the 19th century.
All claims that the globe is warming are based, more or less, on comparisons with Challenger's reports. It is thus of more than passing interest to find Matkin complaining that July 27, 1875, was a warm day in Honolulu harbor -- 120 degrees!
The globe, or this part of it, seems to have cooled a great deal since then.

Description:
Creating suitable thermal conditions for satisfying human desires for thermal-comfort has been recognized to be an essential requirement of the indoor environment. Undesirable thermal conditions can lead to occupant dissatisfaction which, in turn, has an adverse effect on their productivity, performance. Therefore, it is essential that thermal-comfort problems in buildings be given serious, urgent consideration when they arise. In most modern buildings, thermal-comfort is achieved through complex HVAC systems, raising the possibility of the occurrence of thermal-comfort problems during the day-to-day operations of the building. Thermal-comfort problems are diverse, can be difficult to identify and solve since they can be caused by one or more factors, including malfunctioning of the HVAC system, alteration of building operational and physical characteristics and occupant behavior and interference. In order to deal efficiently with thermal-comfort problems in buildings, a systematic approach is needed. The objective of this paper is to introduce an approach through which thermal-comfort problems can be assessed, identified, treated in a systematic way without utilizing unnecessary resources or time. The approach can be helpful to buildings' operators, facility managers when dealing with thermal-comfort problems.

Description:
While having the potential to significantly improve heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC) system performance, advanced (e.g., optimal, robust and various forms of adaptive) controllers have yet to be incorporated into commercial systems. Controllers consisting of distributed proportional-integral (PI) control loops continue to dominate commercial HVAC systems. Investigation into advanced HVAC controllers has largely been limited to proposals and simulations, with few controllers being tested on physical systems. While simulation can be insightful, the only true means for verifying the performance provided by HVAC controllers is by actually using them to control an HVAC system. The construction and modeling of an experimental system for testing advanced HVAC controllers, is the focus of this article. A simple HVAC system, intended for controlling the temperature and flow rate of the discharge air, was built using standard components. While only a portion of an overall HVAC system, it is representative of a typical hot water to air heating system. In this article, a single integrated environment is created that is used for data acquisition, controller design, simulation, and closed loop controller implementation and testing. This environment provides the power and flexibility needed for rapid prototyping of various controllers and control design methodologies.

Description:
The initial capital outlay is one of the largest expenses of any HVAC system. Estimating these costs accurately is crucial to any HVAC economic analysis. In this article, initial cost models are investigated. A literature study reveals different methods for estimating initial costs. None of these are suitable for use during the conceptual design stage. They are either too simplified or require too detailed inputs. The use of ''Pareto's Principle'' to develop a suitable model is investigated in this paper. ''Pareto's Principle'' can be formulated to state that 20% of the equipment makes up 80% of the cost. This principle is tested by analysing some tender estimates. Although it appears to hold true, it is also evident that items like piping and ducting contribute significantly to installation costs. Accurate estimates can thus only be obtained by pricing each sub-system separately. Models are proposed for each subsystem of a typical HVAC system. All the proposed models are suitable for integration with QUICKcontrol and are applicable to a wide range of different HVAC systems. Estimating the costs of both the major capital equipment as well as the smaller sub-systems, is relatively simple. Air and water distribution systems are more problematic due to the number of variables. Without a fairly detailed design and costing model, no accurate cost predictions can be made.

Description:
The authors carried out several investigations to clarify the features of urban surface conditions in the urban canopy Model (UCM). The authors first conducted field investigations regarding the solar reflectance of urban surfaces. First, the wall reflectance and the proportion of the glazing area were measured in several urban areas. The relationship between the solar reflectance of road and traffic density is clarified based on the outdoor measurement and the field survey. It is also presented that the reflectance of the building rooftop varies significantly depending on building use and the influence of machinery in the area of the HVAC. The authors secondly investigated the height of released anthropogenic heat from the HVAC system based on a field survey and a database of HVAC systems provided by certain journals. From these investigations, it is presented that the type of HVAC system and the height of released anthropogenic heat vary with the building scale. Finally, an investigation of urban geometric figures was conducted using GIS data from Tokyo and Fukuoka in Japan. The vertical distribution features of both the roughness volume density and the building wall area density were classified according to the gross ratio of building volume.
