=Drawing and design for craftsmen.= R. S. Bowers. McKay. 407p. $2.00. (The handcraft series.)

A comprehensive book in which the learner is gradually taken through
the elements of drawing to more advanced work, the whole tendency
being towards the applications of art to decoration and industrial
design.

The book would be suitable for self instruction, would also offer
suggestions to teachers of drawing and design.

=Electrical equipment=: its selection and arrangement with special reference to factories, shops and industrial plants. H. W. Brown. McGraw. 220p. $2.00 net.

The general employment of electricity for power and lighting purposes
in industrial establishments creates a need for specific data on the
characteristics, connections, costs, etc., of electric machinery and
appliances, the most suitable systems for particular cases, and other
related matters heretofore scattered in books and periodicals and not
readily to be found.

In this book the author presents these data which he has worked out or
compiled for his classes of non-electrical engineering students who
required a short course in electrical engineering rendered necessary
by the conditions of modern factory and shop practice.

The book is valuable as a text-book or as a reference for engineers
planning or operating electrical equipment in industrial plants,
although in some cases collateral references will be necessary for
greater detail.

Author is connected with the engineering department of Cornell
University.
