In Nomine Patris
At the peak of his career, Dan Hurley, powerful Chicago politician, master of clout, discovers a conscience, wises up, and comes to regret his life's work running and profiting from a political machine he has come to despise. But he has a plan. Far from the city, on a hill in the country where coyotes howl, he hatches a rebellion to throw a wrench into the machine and salvage his reputation, his son's respect, and what is left of his life. But is it too late? As Dan Hurley discovers, there is danger in rocking the boat and stepping on powerful toes. And help is unlikely from his one son, Billy, prodigal nihilist, who has fled the city for a room above a bar in a lost river town, having written his father and his politics off long ago. But maybe there is hope that Billy might get pulled kicking and screaming back into his father's world to unravel a mystery and take up the mantle of the father he loathes. Only Billy's testimony at trial will determine whether Dan Hurley's dreams of reforming himself, his son, and a corrupt machine will come true.

Radial Flow Turbocompressors
An introduction to the theory and engineering practice that underpins the component design and analysis of radial flow turbocompressors. Drawing upon an extensive theoretical background and years of practical experience, the authors provide descriptions of applications, concepts, component design, analysis tools, performance maps, flow stability, and structural integrity, with illustrative examples. Features wide coverage of all types of radial compressor over many applications unified by the consistent use of dimensional analysis. Discusses the methods needed to analyse the performance, flow, and mechanical integrity that underpin the design of efficient centrifugal compressors with good flow range and stability. Includes explanation of the design of all radial compressor components, including inlet guide vanes, impellers, diffusers, volutes, return channels, de-swirl vanes and side-streams. Suitable as a reference for advanced students of turbomachinery, and a perfect tool for practising mechanical and aerospace engineers already within the field and those just entering it.
