H. G. Wells's World Reborn: The Outline of History and its Companions explores the phenomenon that was H. G. Wells's Outline of History and subsequent volumes built around the biological and social sciences. First published in 1919, the Outline was immensely successful, starting a fad for explanations of the world aimed at a knowledge-hungry middle-class audience. Ross examines the Wellsian view of universal history, both in its conception and its execution, and also looks at the Outline's reception by contemporary historians, especially those associated with the American New History movement. He also surveys the scope, and relative strengths of the two subsequent and more moderately successful volumes: The Science of Life and The Work, Wealth and Happiness of Mankind. In a series of chapters, he also sets Wells's progressive, Enlightenment-based view of the world against more current attitudes towards race, colonialism, feminism, and eugenics.

A thoroughly contemporary approach to teaching essential concepts of solid modeling and engineering documentation has made Fundamentals of Solid Modeling and Graphics Communication the leading textbook in introductory engineering design and graphics courses. This textbookintegrates design concepts and the use of 3D CAD modeling into its outstanding coverage of the basic graphical techniques that enable students to create and communicate ideas effectively. The primary goal of this text is to help the engineering and technology student learn the techniques and standard practices of creating 3D solid models and model-based information, so that design ideas can be adequately communicated and produced.
