Welding Metallurgy by Sindo Kou, ISBN 0471434914
The premier reference for welding metallurgy, completely revised and expanded
Since its initial publication in 1987, Welding Metallurgy has been the standard text for the instruction of welding in technical schools and as a reference for professional welders. Updating the existing material and adding a substantial amount of new content, the Second Edition expands the scope of the first and remains the benchmark resource in its field.
Metallurgical phenomena are explained with the help of illustrations that integrate the phase diagram, thermal cycle, kinetics, microstructure, and physical properties. More exercise problems are provided in the Second Edition, and a Solutions Manual is available upon request. Examples of updated features include: Much sharper photomicrographs and line drawingsUpdated heat-source efficiency and melting efficiencyUpdated and expanded chemical reactions in weldingTurbulence (now included in weld pool convection), flow visualization, and arc-plasma draggingSolute redistribution and microsegregation have been expanded and the solidification path addedSolidification modes are explained with more illustrationsFerrite formation mechanisms, new ferrite prediction methods, the effect of cooling rate, and factors affecting the austenite-ferrite transformationSix different liquation mechanisms in the partially melted zone, the direction and modes of grain boundary (GB) solidification, and the resultant GB segregation
Practitioners, researchers, and students will find Welding Metallurgy, Second Edition to be an invaluable, one-stop resource on the science of welding.

Spectroscopic Measurement: An Introduction to the Fundamentals by Mark A. Linne, ISBN 012451071X
Description
Electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics, molecular spectroscopy, optics and radiation form the foundations of the field. On top of these rest the techniques applying the fundamentals (e.g. Emission Spectroscopy, Laser Induced Fluorescence, Raman Spectroscopy). This book contains the basic topics associated with optical spectroscopic techniques. About 40 major sources are distilled into one book, so researchers can read and fully comprehend specific optical spectroscopy techniques without visiting many sources.
Importance of This Topic
Optical diagnostics are widely used in combustion research. Ideas first proposed here are now applied in other fields, including reacting flows for materials production (CVD reactors, oxidation reactors and some plasma work), atmospheric sensing, measuring constituents of exhaled human breath (to indicate stress in airway passages and the lungs and hence, e.g., provide a very early indicator of lung cancer).

Plasma Physics for Astrophysics
"Russell Kulsrud has written an outstanding text that should raise the appreciation of plasma astrophysics within the general astronomy community at a time when the influence of plasma processes on what we observe is recognized to be of paramount importance."--Roger D. Blandford, Kavli Institute for Particle Astrophysics and Cosmology, Stanford University
"Perhaps the most important feature of this book is its pedagogical approach: its emphasis of physical understanding over detailed mathematics. Simple estimates and examples are given instead of rigorous derivations (rigorous results are then quoted). The writing is colloquial and accessible. This is an excellent approach, and it helps demystify a complex subject. Indeed, it is an approach that is lacking in many existing texts in the field.
