Book excerpt: "The book is like a dream you want to last forever" (Roberta Silman, The New York Times Book Review), now with a gorgeous new cover by the famed designer Peter Mendelsund A masterwork of W. G. Sebald, now with a gorgeous new cover by the famed designer Peter Mendelsund The Rings of Saturn—with its curious archive of photographs—records a walking tour of the eastern coast of England. A few of the things which cross the path and mind of its narrator (who both is and is not Sebald) are lonely eccentrics, Sir Thomas Browne’s skull, a matchstick model of the Temple of Jerusalem, recession-hit seaside towns, wooded hills, Joseph Conrad, Rembrandt’s "Anatomy Lesson," the natural history of the herring, the massive bombings of WWII, the dowager Empress Tzu Hsi, and the silk industry in Norwich. W.G. Sebald’s The Emigrants (New Directions, 1996) was hailed by Susan Sontag as an "astonishing masterpiece perfect while being unlike any book one has ever read." It was "one of the great books of the last few years," noted Michael Ondaatje, who now acclaims The Rings of Saturn "an even more inventive work than its predecessor, The Emigrants."

This book was released on 1970 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effect of ring size on the buckling of truncated isotropic conical shells supported at the ends by rings and subjected to hydrostatic- or lateral pressure loadings has been studied. Results were obtained from an approximate theory based on Donnell-type shell theory and a membrane prestress state. For a given shell geometry, the ring properties were varied to determine the smallest ring required to provide the equivalent of essentially clamped support. For a particular application, this procedure yielded the minimum mass of the shell-ring configuration. A nondimensional stiffness parameter was determined which correlated, in general, the results for the entire range of ring and shell geometries considered. Approximate formulas are presented for the preliminary design of rings with both closed (circular and square) and open (I and Z) cross sections.

Tidal and dynamical interaction in galaxies are of importance in studying evolution. A large amount of data has been collected on dust-lane ellipticals, polar ring galaxies, spirals with extended warps, and galaxies with inclined HI rings or unusual 'tails'. This book is a record of a meeting which was held at the University of Pittsburgh. It provided an informal, yet focused environment for the interaction of astronomers who have addressed these questions with a wide variety of skills, techniques and points of view.
