Metals and Alloys Dictionary
ISBN: 9780820600314 / Angielski / Miękka / 248 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. PREFACE - Any new book, certainly one dealing with technical matters, ought to submit something akin to a "certificate of necessity."

Not that perfection is expected-the ideal may not even be prayed for in this all-too-imperfect world. Indeed, I...
