The book is aimed at engineers and engineering students - and, indeed, anyone interested in the detail of one of the most complex machines of our time; it covers everything from an introduction to the theory of jet propulsion to in-depth component definitions, from basic mechanics to maintenance and overhaul.
To Landraver and all others who have an interest in aviation,Open your wallets/credit cards and get this book now - before a new edition comes out and bumps up the price.Seriously folks it is probably the best engine book on the market. I admit I haven't got this copy but have been buying it from the first edition. It was used as a standard training book in the R.A.F., and then they incorporated parts in their engine training manuals. It is well written, the explanations are readily understood and it is very readable.

Light Alloys: From Traditional Alloys to Nanocrystals, Fifth Edition, covers the materials science, properties, manufacturing processes, and applications of key engineering metals in a single accessible volume. As use of these metals is now more widespread than ever, with routine use in motor vehicles and aircraft, this book includes materials characteristics and applications, heat treatment properties, fabrication, microstructure/property relationships, new applications, and processes.
In preparing the book I have sought to cover the essential features of the metallurgy of the light alloys. Extraction of each metal is considered briefly in Chapter one, after which the casting characteristics, alloying behaviour, heat treatment, properties, fabrication and major applications are discussed in more detail. I have briefly reviewed the physical metallurgy of aluminium alloys in Chapter two although the general principles also apply to the other metals. Particular attention has been devoted to microstructure/property relationships and the role of individual alloying elements, which provides the central theme. Special features of light alloys and their place in general engineering are highlighted although it will be appreciated that it has not been possible to pursue more than a few topics in depth.
The book has been written primarily for students of metallurgy and engineering although I believe it will also serve as a useful guide to both producers and users of light alloys. For this reason, books and articles for further reading are listed at the end of each chapter and are augmented by the references included with many of the figures and tables.
