Dr. Atul Tiwari said Nice book for advanced learners. This book is only for those who want to learn mechanics of materials at graduate or higher level.. John Seymour said A fascinating account of early astronomical records. A fascinating and readable account of astronomy in the ancient and mediaeval world. This book contains an detailed description of eclipse records and their place in early societies. Highly recommended.. "Nice shiny" according to Jacob Mijares.

This book provides an introductory overview of the rapid growth in interdisciplinary research into Thinking with Diagrams. These research challenges may be part of the reason why so many diagrams are badly designed or badly used. They review the philosophical status of diagrams, the cognitive processes involved in their application, and a range of specialist fields in which diagrams are central, including education, architectural design and visual programming languages. Diagrammatic representations are becoming more common in everyday human experience, yet they offer unique challenges to cognitive science research. Neither linguistic nor perceptual theories are sufficient to completely explain their advantages and applications. This is ironic when the user interfaces of computer software and the worldwide web are becoming so completely dominated by graphical and diagrammatic representations. The result is immediately relevant to researchers in cognitive science and artificial intelligence, as well as in applied technology areas such as human-computer interaction and information design.. This book includes chapters commissioned from leading researchers in the major disciplines involved in diagrams research
