A one-of-a-kind, step-by-step guide to compiling an HSR—a document crucial to every professional working on a historic property. Any architect, engineer, or preservation professional renovating a historic property must be familiar with the historic structure report (HSR)—a document that evaluates all aspects of a property to minimize damage during restoration. The only book of its kind, this practical guide walks readers through the process of compiling an HSR. From gathering historical and archival data about the property to analyzing its structural, mechanical, and electrical components to assessing the state of its interior finish, including wood, masonry, and metals, this book covers all the nuts and bolts of an expertly written, informative HSR. Explaining what information should be included in each section and how investigators can work together effectively as a team to produce a comprehensive, coherent report, this handbook is one no professional should be without.

The present volume continues the aim of Structure Reports to present critical ac counts of all crystallographic structure determinations. Details of the arrangement in the volumes, symbols used etc. are given in previous volumes (e. g. 41B or 42A, pages vi-viii). University of Guelph, G.

Young [1] 2 ARRANGEMENT To find a particular organic or organometallic compound the subject index or formula index at the end of Part 2 of this volume should be used. The general arrangement is: aliphatic or open-chain compounds; open chains with N, S; benzene derivatives; cyclic hydrocarbons; condensed ring systems; heterocyclic compounds; carbohydrates; amino acids; natural products; molecular complexes; organometallic compounds - B, Si, P, As, Sb, groups lA, IIA, Ill, IV, VI; transition metal complexes - ~-complexes, other ligands; inorganic anions which have orp,anic counter ions. Only complete structure analyses are described, and those which have been reported in preliminary communications and for which details will appear at a later date, have not been described here. 3 ALIPHATIC CARBOXYLIC ACID DERIVATIVES BROMOFLUOROACETIC ACID C H BrF0 2 2 2 R.

' ''Structure Reports'' is an extremely valuable source book useful to X-ray crystallographer, structural chemist, metallurgist, material scientist and, in fact, to any scientist who generates or uses structural information. This volume and, indeed, all the volumes deserve a place in any good scientific library.' Indian Journal of Chemistry, Vol. 27A, March 1988.

Explains the purpose of historic structure reports, describes their value to the preservation of significant historic properties, outlines how reports are commissioned and prepared, and recommends an organizational format for such reports.

Technical Reports are usually written according to general standards, corporate - sign standards of the current university or company, logical rules and practical - periences. These rules are not known well enough among engineers. There are many books that give general advice in writing. This book is specialised in how to write Technical Reports and addresses not only engineers, but also natural sci- th tists, computer scientists, etc. It is based on the 6 edition published in 2008 by st Vieweg in German and is now published as 1 edition by Springer in English. Both authors of the German edition have long experience in educating en- neers at the University of Applied Sciences Hannover. They have held many l- tures where students had to write reports and took notes about all positive and negative examples that occurred in design reports, lab work reports, and in theses. Prof. Dr. Lutz Hering has worked for VOLKSWAGEN and DAIMLER and then changed to the University of Applied Sciences Hannover where he worked from 1974 until 2000. He held lectures on Technical Drawing, Construction and Design, CAD and Materials Science. Dr. Heike Hering worked nine years as a Technical Writer and was responsible for many CAD manuals in German and English. She is now employed at TÜV NORD Akademie, where she is responsible for E-Learning projects, technical documentation and software training and supervises students who are writing their theses.
