This month we are celebrating International Women in Engineering Day and highlighting some of our trail blazing authors who already #ImagineTheFuture 

Check out some of the latest titles from across our Engineering disciplines and read the first chapter free on Wiley.com:

Civil Engineering
Facilities Manager's Desk Reference, 3rd Edition
Jane M. Wiggins

A practical guide to the principle services of facilities management, revised and updated. The updated third edition of Facilities Manager's Desk Reference is an invaluable resource covering all the principal facility management (FM) services. The author—a noted facilities management expert—provides the information needed to ensure compliance to current laws, to deliver opportunities to adopt new ways of using built environments, and to identify creative ways to reduce operational occupancy costs, while maintaining appropriate and productive working environment standards.

Why Do Buildings Collapse in Earthquakes?
Robin Spence, Emily So
Learn from the personal experience and insights of leading earthquake engineering specialists as they examine the lessons from disasters of the last 30 years and propose a path to earthquake safety worldwide

Electrical Engineering
Position, Navigation, and Timing Technologies in the 21st Century: Integrated Satellite Navigation, Sensor Systems, and Civil Applications - Set, Volumes 1 and 2 
Y. Jade Morton (Editor), et al

Featuring sixty-four chapters that are divided into six parts, this two-volume work provides comprehensive coverage of the state-of-the-art in satellite-based position, navigation, and timing (PNT) technologies and civilian applications. It also examines alternative navigation technologies based on other signals-of-opportunity and sensors and offers a comprehensive treatment on integrated PNT systems for consumer and commercial applications.

Computer Vision for Structural Dynamics and Health Monitoring
Dongming Feng, Maria Q. Feng

This book is the first to fill the gap between scientific research of computer vision and its practical applications for structural health monitoring (SHM). It provides a complete, state-of-the-art review of the collective experience that the SHM community has gained in recent years.

A New Swing-Contract Design for Wholesale Power Markets 
Leigh Tesfatsion

This book promotes a linked swing-contract market design for centrally-managed wholesale power markets to facilitate increased reliance on renewable energy resources and demand-side participation. The proposed swing contracts are firm or option two-part pricing contracts permitting resources to offer the future availability of dispatchable power paths (reserve) with broad types of flexibility in their power attributes.

Mechanical Engineering
Fundamentals of Additive Manufacturing for the Practitioner
Sheku Kamara, Kathy S. Faggiani

 A vital examination of the methods and techniques needed to transition from traditional to additive manufacturing. This book explains how traditional manufacturing work roles change as various industries move into additive manufacturing and describes the flow of the typical production process in additive manufacturing.

Environmental Noise and Management: Overview from Past to Present
Selma Kurra

Environmental noise is studied, regulated and monitored by many governments and institutions, as well as forming the basis for a number of different occupations due to the adverse effects of noise exposure. This title provides a comprehensive overview of environmental noise pollution. 

Metal Additive Manufacturing
Ehsan Toyserkani, Dyuti Sarker, Osezua Obehi Ibhadode, Farzad Liravi, Paola Russo, Katayoon Taherkhani

Additive Manufacturing (AM)—also commonly referred to as 3D printing—builds three-dimensional objects by adding materials layer by layer. Recent years have seen unprecedented investment in additive manufacturing research and development by governments and corporations worldwide. This technology has the potential to replace many conventional manufacturing processes, enable the development of new industry practices, and transform the entire manufacturing enterprise.

Flow-Induced Vibration Handbook for Nuclear and Process Equipment
Michel J. Pettigrew (Editor), Colette E. Taylor (Editor), Nigel J. Fisher (Editor)

Fatigue or fretting-wear damage in process and plant equipment caused by flow-induced vibration can lead to operational disruptions, lost production, and expensive repairs. Mechanical engineers can help prevent or mitigate these problems during the design phase of high capital cost plants such as nuclear power stations and petroleum refineries by performing thorough flow-induced vibration analysis.
