    About this ebook

    In the past few decades, friction material engineering has become more sophisticated with many tests and techniques to investigate the properties of the materials and their counterparts before, during and after friction occurred. There has not been too much information available on the different raw materials used for friction materials. This book is more focused towards the raw materials that formulate the different friction materials. It explains about their main friction effects and material structure.

    Handbook of Friction Materials and Their Applications begins by explaining about different friction materials and how they can be used for brakes. It then goes onto explain the tribology of friction materials. Further out it discusses how different friction materials are formulated and produced. Noise and vibration are explained in a further chapter. The later part talks about how different raw materials can be used for friction materials, such as metals, carbon, organic and inorganic materials.

    • Explains how different friction materials can be used for brakes
    • Discusses the noise and vibration effects in friction materials
    • Covers the raw materials that are used in friction materials

      Excellent analysis of America's many small wars, the role of the Marine Corps, and the many reasons America has used over history to become involved in these small actions. Boot does an excellent job of rebutting the common critiques of these types of wars, formed by both contemporaries and in retrospect. Max Boot unashamedly supports an active, interventionist policy and he shows how America has never been as isolationist as many contend. Simply more or less interventionist throughout our history. While many may disagree with his arguments, I think few would find the book unenjoyable. Most importantly, each short chapter is the springboard for much further reading into these very exciting, but overlooked times in American - and world - history.The only problem I have is that the title is lifted straight from an Alistair Horne book about the Algerian War, which I also have.

      I was truly impressed with the book. The amount of history which isn't taught in today's schools is appalling. When I was still in school (awhile ago) the only small wars ever mentioned and very briefly were the Spanish American war and the Boxer Rebellion. This book goes over all the little wars we have fought since the 1800's up until Vietnam which is included in the evaluation. The history about the subjugation of the Philipines after we took it in the Spanish American war is so eerily like Iraq it isn't even funny, right down to the whining about torture. History definitely works in cycles and if lessons previously learned are not applied they are lost, case in point Vietnam which the author makes a great case for. For those who complain we are not into nation building they will be rather taken aback at how many times we did exactly that throughout our history in the region of the Carribean and Central America and in other places as well. Our current operations in Iraq and Afghanistan are nothing new under the sun for we have done the same things before it is only that we as a people don't know our own history. This book is a must read in order to get up to speed on our past and give us insight on how our future battles should be looked at.

      I read this for an undergraduate military history class and I was nicely impressed with it. I usually expect undergraduate books to be fairly dry but this one was interesting. It focuses on the smaller wars that the U.S. was involved in and how it helped America's rise to power in the world. If you are interested in American military history, then you should pick this up.
