From the reviews:
"This work contains 16 biographies focusing on the important works, concepts, and inventions of well-known figures in mechanism and machines science. ... the entries contains analyses of the individuals’ major works and a modern interpretation that connects current research and applications with their seminal works. The unique perspective and contribution of this volume is its substantial analyses of the works of the biographees, written by practicing scientists and engineers. ... Upper-division undergraduates through faculty." (M. Fosmire, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (6), February, 2008)
This is the first part of a series of books whose aim is to collect contributed papers describing the work of famous persons in MMS (Mechanism and Machine Science). The current work treats mainly technical developments in the historical evolution of the fields that today are grouped in MMS. The emphasis is on biographical notes describing the efforts and experiences of people who have contributed to technical achievements.

Descripción Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This is the rst volume of a series of edited books whose aim is to collect contributed papers in a framework that can serve as a dictionary of names of individuals who have made contributions to the discipline of MMS (Me- anism and Machine Science). This dictionary project has the peculiarity that, through descriptions of the ideas and work of these individuals, the papers will illustrate mainly technical developments in the historical evolution of the individual elds that today de ne the scope of MMS. Thus the core of each contribution will be a survey of biographical notes describing the efforts and experiences of these people. Finding appropriate technical experts as authors for such papers and - couraging them to write them has been a challenge; it is a demanding and time-consuming effort to produce such in-depth articles that delve deeply into the historical background of their topics of expertise. This rst volume of the dictionary project has been possible thanks to the invited authors who have enthusiastically shared the initiative and have spent time and effort in prep- ing papers that have the novel characteristics of survey and historical notes. The papers in this volume cover the wide eld of the History of Mechanical Engineering with speci c focus on MMS. I believe that a reader who takes advantage of the papers in this book, as well as future ones, will nd further satisfaction and motivation for her or his work (historical or not).
