Many of the books in this field are expensive and hard to get anything out of. I would recommend this to anyone starting out if the field, actually of use to any homeowner who is going to have to deal with repair/replace issues.

This is a reference for designers,QC engineers and managers. Part 22 is mislabelled as "Sportive Mineral Materials" ha.ha. The industrial materials covered are soaps, anti-freezes,waxes and "ABSORPTIVE" Materials.
A useful reference for recycling officials and those protecting the environment.

I work on RV's for a living and these work great for me for scraping the sealers off of the molding and the putty tape under the moldings for resealing or cleaning for reinstalling after repairing collision or dry rot repair,
they resharpen  very well I use 320 then 600 wet sandpaper on a block and wet sand them till they have a sharp edge again.

I was able to break up some pretty old soil around the garden and prepare for new plants.  This unit is pretty powerful.  My next project will be to use this machine to relevel the backyard.

The planet EARTH houses well over 600billion people... and in the land on which they are housed under cloak of gases we call ATMOSPHERE are natural potentials for disaster. The same elements that form disaster are often the elements that provide us our sustenance. REMOTE SENSING and AERIAL INTERPRETATION allows us to plan HOW we use these landforms and elements WISELY.
The book provided by Avery and Berlin is a must have for any land developer or engineer who intends to maintain equilibrium with nature in his design. The book provides first hand knowledge of basic instruments and technology used in locating sources of precious commodities and for streamlining expense of damage/progress survey used in Agricultural and Energy careers. Acquisistion of the skill offered by this text enables VISION beyond the facade. It was one of many required texts in my own field of study.

I used this to clean up some rough cut cedar. It does a great job of collecting the dust. I upgraded from a Harbor Freight one and it is significantly better at dust collect.  The sanding seems about equal, although my 6 year old Harbor Freight one clearly was showing its age and was ready to go.

Mr. Iddings has done a very admirable job and a heck of a lot of work to find, organize, and present details concerning the history of the structures, people, and organization of one of California's many important and seminal mining operations. For anyone dipping their toe into New Idria and the surrounding area, this book is essential. While costly, it is well worth it when one considers how many years were dedicated to its creation. It is best ordered directly from Mr. Iddings' Createspace website (an Amazon company), to ensure he gets a fair share of the proceeds. His createspace dot com item number is 4950669. I have had a life-long interest in mercury mining, having started my career in geology as a field assistant to the late Dr, Edgar H. Bailey of the USGS. I am a founder of the New Almaden Quicksilver County Park Association. There are many, many facts and photos in this volume that I had not seen before. The writing style is engaging and Mr. Iddings presents an easy read that does not mire in technical jargon and arcane details. The appendices provide actual documents that provide a glimpse into the personalities of the many individuals that contributed to the rise and fall of the mine. I first visited New Idria in 1974, at the age of 16. It is sad that no one was able to save the town. At that time it was the last intact and complete 19th-Century mercury mining town in the California, and the largest. Mr. Iddings' book ably explains how the dedication and labor of thousands came collapse into a mess of abandonment, vandalism, and environmental litigation. At the same time, it celebrates the people and events that make New Idria a proud association for the many people descendant from the founders and workers over a rich nearly 120 year period of operations. The history of New Idria is still being written.

Bought this for a brother-in-law who rebuilds classic & antique cars. He has found it to be very useful and refers to it when he works on upholstery.  Thanks for a great reference book!

Buy a bastard file to do the heavy work. This stone is perfect to maintain an edge and for touch up work in the field. Don't forget the oil!

One action we can all take in earth renewal is to heal our ancestor.  I am so grateful for this guide on how to do that.

May be Peter Andrews  has unlocked the secret to land reclamation its certainly food for thought and should be required reading for all farmers . whilst his methods may seem unconventional  to the statusqo his methods have certainly pulled Tarwin Park back from the brink. But to what end if the area is mined for the coal reserves that exist  in that area ?.  I was as an uneducated man, amazed at the depth of Peters knowledge and the amount of research that he obviously engaged in his quest for answers and his life experiences  were of great interest to me as a native of Rylstone, but no longer living there, I am familiar with  Property and the surrounding district.
Highly recommended Reading

The subtitle says it all, except that not all the professions are prized - silver mining, for instance, done by slaves who spent their days on their backs in a "coffin-sized hole" and had a life span of three months, or the hordes of free-born laborers needed for everything from carrying stones to loading ships who earned their daily bread and little else.

But Leon manages to cover a broad range of professions from slave-driver and gladiator to dream incubators and sycophants (who informed on fig smugglers) who have no counterpart in today's world as well as many others that will be around forever in one form or another.

Entries are brief and breezy, but very informative. Leon organizes her jobs and avocations in categories - Slave jobs (the best ones are in aristocratic homes), temple and entertainment jobs, food professions, law and order, entertainment and the arts, etc., giving her sections such titles as "Small-time Operators, Corporate Rackets," and "Doomed Careers and Deathless Pursuits."

There are also brief profiles throughout of people who excelled in one way or another at their posts.

Leon's relentlessly droll style grows a little wearing but she does pack an amazing amount of information in this well-organized, broad-ranging collection, giving a lively, detailed picture of teeming life in the ancient world.

The book is an homage to those planetary geologic treasures that provide the backbone for the growing geotourism industry. As the population of this planet swells the geosites like the ones in this book will need protection, just as humans currently attempt to protect biologically diverse landscapes. See the last chapter on heritage; hopefully geoheritage and the protection of geologically important scientific sites (beyond just national parks and monuments) will become critical concepts and useful environmental planning tools at the state and local level in the USA. See also NATURAL HERITAGE FROM EAST TO WEST: CASE STUDIES FROM 6 EU COUNTRIES in the same Springer series.

My professional background and experience is related to drinking water treatment so I focused on Chapter 5 of this text.  In general I found it to contain an excellent review with examples of fundamental water calculation practices.  In particular, the sections relating to aeration and lime softening calculations were very good.  The review of the SDWA as an introduction to the Chapter was well done as was the section on CT calculations.

With the proliferation of membrane technology across a wide variety of treatment applications, and given the history of membrane performance issues, I would however suggest the future editions give more attention to recommended pretreatment methodology based on specific raw water quality contaminants.  That subject is touched on by the author but the reader is left to explore that question himself.  Related to membrane wastes (brines), it would also be worthwhile to dedicate more space to residuals disposal as it impacts process selection.

At this time, I only skimmed through the remaining sections but the calculation examples appear to be well presented.
