Book Title: Fundamentals of Infrastructure Management Authors: Donald Coffelt and Chris Hendrickson Publisher: Donald Coffelt and Chris Hendrickson (Carnegie Mellon University) ISBN: Not Known About the Book: This book grew out of a decade of co-teaching a course entitled Infrastructure Management at Carnegie Mellon University. It provides a comprehensive overview of the topic, covering both the general principles of infrastructure management—such as asset management, deterioration modeling, optimization, and decision-making—and specific infrastructure systems including roadways, buildings, water, telecommunications, and electricity. The text draws examples from a wide variety of systems and is designed for professionals intending to practice infrastructure management, as well as students in senior undergraduate or first-year graduate courses.

Book Title: Essential Mechanics - Statics and Strength of Materials with MATLAB and Octave Author: P. Venkataraman Original Publisher: RIT Scholar Works Original ISBN: 9780988881129 About the Book: Essential Mechanics - Statics and Strength of Materials with MATLAB and Octave combines two core engineering science courses—Statics and Strength of Materials—in mechanical, civil, and aerospace engineering. It weaves together various essential topics to allow discussing structural design from the very beginning. The traditional content of these courses is reordered to make it convenient to cover rigid body equilibrium and extend it to deformable body mechanics. The book covers the most useful topics from both courses with computational support through MATLAB/Octave. The traditional approach for engineering content is emphasized and is rigorously supported through graphics and analysis. Prior knowledge of MATLAB is not necessary, as instructions for its use in context are provided and explained. It takes advantage of the numerical, symbolic, and graphical capability of MATLAB for effective problem solving, providing a natural procedure for What if? exploration that is important for design. About the Author: P. Venkataraman graduated from I.I.T. Kanpur in 1974 with a B.Tech in Aeronautical Engineering. He worked in Helicopter Design at Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd., Bangalore between 1974 and 1979. He graduated from Rice University with a PhD from the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Material Science in 1984. He was a faculty in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Rochester Institute of Technology from 1983 to 2019.

History of Design explores the evolution of design from early human expression to contemporary creative practices. It presents design not merely as a collection of styles and movements, but as a reflection of human creativity, cultural identity, technological progress, social change, and problem-solving. The book introduces students to major developments in graphic design, typography, photography, motion pictures, fashion design, and art and design movements. It examines influential movements such as Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau, Bauhaus, De Stijl, Constructivism, Art Deco, Modernism, and Postmodernism, highlighting their ideas, philosophies, and contributions to design. Special attention is given to Indian art, design traditions, crafts, textiles, visual culture, and their relationship with global developments. By exploring the connections between art, craft, industry, technology, and communication, the book helps readers understand how design has evolved in response to changing human needs and circumstances. It encourages students to look beyond the visual appearance of designed objects and examine their historical context, purpose, cultural significance, and underlying ideas. Written as an educational resource for design students and learners, *History of Design* aims to develop observation, critical thinking, and creative awareness. It provides a foundation for understanding the past, interpreting contemporary design practices, and approaching future design challenges with greater knowledge, curiosity, and intention.
