two online books: mentoring, polyhedral dissections

two unrelated books: one found while searching for references for mentoring junior colleagues, and another through my interest in berrocal's works which led to john rausch's incredible puzzle world.

national academy of sciences, national academy of engineering, institute of medicine, adviser, teacher, role model, friend: on being a mentor to students in science and engineering, national academy press, 1997.

stewart t. coffin, The Puzzling World of Polyhedral Dissections, oxford university press, 1991.

[image of a six-piece burr from coffin's chapter 5, six-piece burr general discussion. i am quite sure i saw the original printed edition of this book, and neglected to pick it up at the time. fixed now.]
