Looking for Proof Readers

G'Day Everyone,

I'm in the final stages of writing a chapter for the upcoming CRC Press title "The Engineering Handbook - 2nd Ed" (Richard Dorf) to be released later this year. What I have attempted to do is put as many of the "essential" LabVIEW philosophy and coding reference information in about 20 pages (not an easy task, I can tell you!) I'm almost up to the publisher's sub deadline, and I was wondering if there was anyone out there that would like to have a look over my manuscript as a proof reader, to ensure that I haven't left anything out? I intended to have the manuscript finished and sent out to proof readers sometime around Monday 28th of April, and would need you to have a quick look over it, and have comments/corrections back to me by Thursday the 1st of May, so I can get it all together and in the mail as soon as possible. I'd really appreciate any help that you can give me!

For those interested, this is the publisher brief regarding the Engineering Handbook, 2nd Ed:
"The purpose of The Engineering Handbook is to provide in a single volume a ready reference for the practicing engineer in industry, government, and academia. The book in its comprehensive format is divided into 30 sections, which encompass the field of engineering. The goal is to provide the most up-to-date information on the classical fields that comprise mechanical, electrical, civil, chemical, industrial, and aerospace engineering as well as the underlying fields of mathematics and materials. The book should serve the information needs of all professional engineers engaged in the practice of the profession whether in industry, education, or government. The focus of the handbook is on the key concepts, models, and equations that enable the engineer to analyze, design, and predict the behavior of complex devices, circuits, instruments, systems, structures, plants, computers, fuels, and the environment. While data and formulae are summarized, the main focus is the provision of the underlying theories and concepts and the appropriate application of these theories to the field of engineering. With equal emphasis placed on materials, structures, mechanics, dynamics, fluids, thermodynamics, fuels and energy, transportation, environmental systems, circuits and systems, computers and instruments, manufacturing, aeronautical and aerospace, and economics and management as well as mathematics, the engineer should encounter a wide range of concepts and considerable depth of exploration of these concepts as they lead to application and design."

ta,
Chris

Dear Christopher:

I'm considered a bit of a word warrior myself, as well as a fellow enthusiast. I have been engineering editor of Nupedia open source encyclopedia since its inception, so I can probably be of some assistance. Sounds like a fun project!

Sign me up. I wrote for Personal Engineering & Instrumentation News here in the US for 6 years.

Mike...

PS: Will there be any compensation? Like maybe a cold can of Fosters?

It's amazing what an advertising system can do: in Australia, it is very difficult to find Fosters - to be honest with you, we don't drink it! 🙂 The more common bears over here are VB (Victoria Bitter), Tooheys New and Old, and XXXX (Thier slogan is "Australian's don't give a XXXX about anything else!")

Thanks for your interest Mike - I'll get you the proofs sometime next week...

ta,
Christopher

You mean a Great White Shark isn't Australian for "guppy"!

Before I was merely jaded with life, now I'm disillusioned! (sigh...)

Crikey - fair dinkum - sorry cobber, but that's a furfy!

Translation: Wow - Gee - sorry friend, but that's untrue!

(I have to admit, I actually use these terms every day 🙂

We shall have to profusely footnote the Engineering Handbook to reflect this terminology, no doubt!

Is "fair dinkum" a metric or English unit?
