Beskrivelse af Hydraulicians in the USA 1800-2000
This book provides 1-page short biographies of scientists and engineers working in the area of hydraulic engineering and fluid dynamics in the USA. On each page, a notable individual is highlighted by: (1) Exact dates and locations of birth and death; (2) Educational and professional details, including also awards received; (3) Reasons for inclusion in book by highlighting key publications; (4) Short bibliography including both individual¿s own, and source literature such as Whös who details, or retrieve details for portrait; (5) Portrait or photo showing e.g. book cover of individual, or photo of a typical work as a dam or a canal. This volume includes almost 1,000 individuals, of which there are only 2 women. The book also has a detailed Index, and a 2-page list of individuals (normally born in Europe) retained in previous volumes (1 and 2, ) having a relation to this volume 3. The book also contains a map of the USA in which the major American rivers are highlighted, given their close relation to projects made by several of the individuals presented in the book.This book provides a beautiful overview of the many scientists and engineers having contributed to the current knowledge in hydraulic engineering and fluid mechanics. The author made every effort in compiling the most important hydraulicians of the USA in this work as it will become much more difficult in future decades to find biographical details on these, given the current policy that so few memoirs or necrologues are published.
