BOOK NOTES---   This book is a latest in a series that began in 1997 under the guidance of the Japan Society of Grinding Engineers and others which later became an organization know as ISAAT. Dr. Stewart Salmon, Advance Manufacturing Technology, is one of the founding members of that organization. These publications, which are all available through the Abrasive Engineering Society are a chronicle of the research in Asian and Pacific Rim countries as well as a few other groups around the world. Poor English translation in some places reduces readability, but the essential facts are always presented. The coverage is a good indicator of trends in manufacturing as well as the focus of research programs and priorities set by national and regional governments. Although North American and European research have held a lead in conventional abrasives technologies, many papers show the efforts o organizations outside Western circles to make contributions to abrasives technology and close technology gaps. As described in the preface technical papers cover all aspects of grinding including machining, polishing, cut off, water jet, and more. Note these peer-reviewed papers that were approved and carefully selected by prominent researcher in the field of abrasives technology. A more detail commentary on the papers is available in a special issue of the Abrasive User's News Fax. For other volumes in the ISAAT series click here.
