Dartmouth Authors
Harvey W. Graves Jr. '50. Nuclear Fuel Management. Wiley & Sons, 1979. 327 pp. Designed for use by advanced undergraduate and first-year graduate students in nuclear engineering, this is the first textbook to describe the techniques used to translate basic principles of reactor physics, materials engineering, and thermo-hydraulic analyses into engineering practice in nuclear fuel design and nuclear reactor operations. An independent consultant and Fellow of the American Nuclear Society, Graves holds an M.S. in electrical engineering from Thayer School and the Ph.D. in nuclear engineering from University of Michigan.
Richard A. Livingston '68, ed. The NorthAmerican Yacht Register, 1979. Livingston Marine Services, 1979. 1022 pp. The successor to Lloyd's Register of American Yachts, this book continues, under its new editor, a line of yachting publications which began in 1881. This 1979 edition includes over 7,000 yachts. The editor has retained the format and the traditional features of Lloyd's Register: particulars of individual yachts, including ownership, official number, measurements, engine details, and names of designer and builder; an index to sail numbers; the names, addresses, and club affiliations of all owners; and yachts available for charter. In addition, several innovations have been introduced, such as an index of VHF-FM call signs, a register of yachts of special or historical interest, and results of major international races.
Leland S. Englebardt '76. You Hava A Right:A Guide for Minors. Lathrop, Lee & Shepard, 1979. 128 pp. While still in law school and working as a legal intern, Englebardt noted that most minors have almost no knowledge of their inherent legal and constitutional rights. To fill the perceived need for some elementary instruction, he wrote this book to explain to minors their basic rights as American citizens, the responsibilities which accompany those rights, and the means by which their rights may be exercised. Englebardt concentrates on those areas likely to be of most relevance to minors; work agreements, signing contracts, renting, making major purchases, drugs and driving, sex-related questions (birth control, V.D., marriage), and child abuse. He concludes with advice about how and where to seek legal aid, including a useful list of public legal services offices in all 50 states. At Dartmouth Englebardt majored in literature and creative writing. It shows. He writes with such ease and clearness that if he put his mind to it there is no doubt that he could turn the doctrine of Last Clear Chance into an exciting short story.
