What do you use every day that is small and large, worthless and beyond price? It's easily found in the gutter, yet you may never be able to replace it. You are always losing it but it faithfully protects you; sexy and uptight, it is knitted in to your affections or it may give you nightmares. It has led to conflict, fostered and repressed political and religious change and epitomizes the great aesthetic movements. It's Eurocentric, and is found all over the world. On the Button is an inventive and unusual exploration of the cultural history of the button, illustrated with a multiplicity of buttons in black and white and color. It tells tales of a huge variety of the button's forms and functions, its sometimes uncompromising glamour, its stronghold in fashion and literature, its place in the visual arts, its association with crime and death, and its tender call to nostalgia and the sentimental. There have been works addressed to the button collector and general cultural histories, but On the Button links the two, revealing why we are so attracted to buttons, and how they punch way above their weight. It is illustrated with a multiplicity of buttons.

Advances in joining technologies, as well as new materials, has given rise to greater expectations among engineers, designers, and manufacturers for higher performance and product life. Moreover, advances in even traditional joining technologies such as rivets, bolts and mechanical fasteners has led to dramatic savings in cost and manufacturing time. This book meets this changing technical world head on, with complete coverage of nearly every known major form of joining technology. All new areas of welding including laser and fusion welding, along with new advances in composite and polymer bonding, are covered. The reader will find it easy and convenient to look up subjects either by type of joining technology (Part 1) or type of material (Part 2). This book is written to all engineers, including those in mechanical, materials and manufacturing engineering. But all readers in a wide array of technical fields will find here a unique informational resource, whether they are looking for help in machine assembly or structural materials assembly, or even in biotechnical problems involving tissue to non-tissue bonding. *Coverage all of major joining technologies, including welding, soldering, brazing, adhesive and cement bonding, pressure fusion, riveting, bolting, snap-fits, and more *Organized by both joining techniques and materials types, including metals, non-metals, ceramics and glasses, composites, biomaterials, and living tissue *An ideal reference for design engineers, students, package and product designers, manufacturers, machinists, materials scientists

Due to its speed, low energy requirements, and the fact that it does not require a pre-drilled hole, the technique of self-piercing riveting (SPR) has been increasingly adopted by many industries as a high-speed mechanical fastening technique for the joining of sheet material components. Self-piercing riveting comprehensively reviews the process, equipment, and corrosion behaviour of self-piercing riveting, and also describes the process of evaluation and modelling of strength of self-piercing riveted joints, quality control methods and non-destructive testing.Part one provides an exte
