TAILIEUCHUNG - Process Planning:The design/manufacture interface by Peter Scallan

Man's technological ascent began in earnest in what is known as the Neolithic period ("New stone age"). The invention of polished stone axes was a major advance because it allowed forest clearance on a large scale to create farms. The discovery of agriculture allowed for the feeding of larger populations, and the transition to a sedentist lifestyle increased the number of children that could be simultaneously raised, as young children no longer needed to be carried, as was the case with the nomadic lifestyle.

Furthermore as the emphasis of the module was on the skills and knowledge required for process planning and not on the technology I needed a textbook that was easy for undergraduates to follow while being reasonably thorough. Having contacted a number of publishers it became apparent that here was an excellent opportunity to write and publish my first book. After all I had written and published distance learning material and how difficult could it be If only I knew then what I know now Having estimated that it would take me about eighteen months to write the book I finally finished in October of 2002 18 months late During this time there was a major illness in the family a car written off a disastrous house move the birth of our fifth daughter not a typing error I hasten to add and so many changes with my job that would require a book for themselves.
