This Saturday Book includes a cabinet of curiosities as 'A Census of Sea Serpents' by Anna McMullen and 'an unnatural history of Dragons' by Miles Hadfield, an animal fantasy; the Taxidermist of Bramber, wood engravings by Derek Pooley and R.L. Bickerton as well as a study of vintage cars by L.T.C. Rolt, Peter Quennell's Hogarth's 'Marriage-a-la-mode' and Bill Brandt's Cezanne Country. Founded in 1941 by Leonard Russell, The Saturday Book was a highly illustrated annual anthology of literary, historic, cultural and collector's writings published at Christmas time from 1941 to 1975. Russell served as editor for a decade, and was succeeded by John Hadfield. At the 1951 Modern Books and Writers Exhibition of 100 books selected to illustrate the renaissance of book design in Great Britain, Sir Francis Maynell and Mr. Desmond Flower chose The Saturday Book-with its fine medley of articles on social life- as 'the one book to represent the full versatility and fanciful possibilities of printing today'. In addition, The Saturday Books were often illustrated with a fine selection of ephemera; as noted by Maurice Rickards in his excellent Encyclopedia of Ephemera. Cloth, The Macmillan Company, 1953., 4, Kluwer Academic Pubs., 2000. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. Fourteen papers from the December 1998 workshop explore the concept of knowledge intensive CAD systems. The concept advocates incorporating life cycle knowledge regarding the product and design process into CAD architecture. The main subjects of the workshop are ontology, knowledge intensive CAD (KIC), knowledge intensive design (KID), and knowledge representation for KIC. Topics include supporting the knowledge life-cycle, a case study of model generation for finite element analysis, design-to-manufacture information transfer in the context of solid freeform fabrication technologies, an application to support the weight distribution analysis of Indy league race cars, and guiding agent learning in design.

In Hitting the Brakes, Ann Johnson illuminates the complex social, historical, and cultural dynamics of engineering design, in which knowledge communities come together to produce new products and knowledge. Using the development of antilock braking systems for passenger cars as a case study, Johnson shows that the path to invention is neither linear nor top-down, but highly complicated and unpredictable. Individuals, corporations, university research centers, and government organizations informally coalesce around a design problem that is continually refined and redefined as paths of development are proposed and discarded, participants come and go, and information circulates within the knowledge community. Detours, dead ends, and failures feed back into the developmental process, so that the end design represents the convergence of multiple, diverse streams of knowledge.The development of antilock braking systems (ABS) provides an ideal case study for examining the process of engineering design because it presented an array of common difficulties faced by engineers in research and development. ABS did not develop predictably. Research and development took place in both the public and private sectors and involved individuals working in different disciplines, languages, institutions, and corporations. Johnson traces ABS development from its first patents in the 1930s to the successful 1978 market introduction of integrated ABS by Daimler and Bosch. She examines how a knowledge community first formed around understanding the phenomenon of skidding, before it turned its attention to building instruments to measure, model, and prevent cars’ wheels from locking up. While corporations’ accounts of ABS development often present a simple linear story, Hitting the Brakes describes the full social and cognitive complexity and context of engineering design.
