Garnett, W. H. Stuart. Turbines. *$2.75. Macmillan.
This volume “while written with a view to interest amateurs, calls special attention to those points and problems deserving the more particular notice of students. It has been the author’s object to trace the development of the science of turbines as it appears to have grown in the minds of the inventors responsible for its material manifestations. The two parts into which the book is divided deal respectively, with water and steam turbines. Appendices contain tables, notes on the ‘Behavior of gas,’ some mathematical principles, and other matter. There are eighty-three illustrations in the book.”—N. Y. Times.
