a retired professor is trying to make room in his library - here are some
books, drop me a note (go to my web site to get my email address) if you
would like one or more - quite a few of these relate to topics that get
discussed on this NG, though they are not metalworking per-se - most of
these relate to queueing, inventory control, production efficiency, and
so on - mostly hard back

Simulation and analysis of industrial systems - Schmidt and Taylor 1970
Dynamic Administration - Teh collected papers of Mary Parker Follett -
1940
IBM PC applications for the Industrial Engineer and Manager -
Banks/Spoerer/Collins 1986
Men at Work - William Foote Whyte 1961
The protestant ethic and the spirit of captalism (max weber) 1958
The industrial worker 1840-1860 Norman Ware 1964 (original 1924)
The Human Problems of an Industrial Civilisation - Elton Mayo 1968
Fatigue of Workers - National Research Council 1941 (good human factors
text on how heat and other stress causes fatigue)
QS version 2.0 (spiral bound) - I may have the software that goes with
this somewhere 1991
Selected cases in Strategic Management - S Certo & J Peter 1990
Experimental Statistics handbook 91 - US Dept of Commerce Aug 1963
The American Soldier (2 books) Stouffer et al - Combat & its Aftermath,
Adjustmetn during Army Life

$5 or so each, less if you take a bunch

No fiction? Sci-Fi? Fantasy? Mystery? Romance?
You got no books there, you got HOMEWORK!



Hey, I said "retired professor" not "retired normal person" - we all know
that academics are a special breed. The "americal soldier" series is
particularly intersting if you are interested in large scale studies of
social systems and psychology.



Thanks Bill, now my head hurts.
