Abstract
This paper presents a new finite element (FE) approach to modeling edge effects in beam sandwich structures. The approach is based on a mixed 2D and beam formulation conjuncted by means of a penalty function method. Several results from analysis of sandwich beams and frames bending with different boundary conditions and laminate properties are solved in order to demonstrate the accuracy of the algorithms and software developed. The influence of the penalty factor on the spectral condition number of the stiffness matrix and on the residual norm of the solution is also investigated for different isotropic and sandwich structures. The FE analysis of complex sandwich beam joint is subsequently presented. Results of this analysis show the advantages of the developed approach for large problems.

Abstract
SOME popular journals have, for some time now, been publishing a short list of books which are selling successfully. Books and Bookmen has a feature of the best‐selling titles from two or three bookshops in town and the provinces; Time and Tide publishes a list compiled with the assistance of the National Book League: Time in its “Time Listings” enumerates the top twenty best sellers (of America) and similar lists no doubt appear in other journals. The outstanding characteristic of these lists is the remarkably high quality of the books mentioned. Rare indeed is a title which would not deserve a place on the shelves on any public library. Most of the titles are, of course, new, although it is interesting to note how really outstanding titles retain a place on the lists for many weeks. Thus in the last “Time Listing”, Dr. Zhivago, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and Aku Aku among others, have all been published for some months.

Abstract
The most obvious symptom of the most obvious trend in the building of new libraries is the fact that, as yet, no spade has entered the ground of the site on Euston Road, London, upon which the new building for the British Library Reference Division has to be erected. Some twenty years of continued negotiation and discussion finally resulted in the choice of this site. The UK and much more of the world awaits with anticipation what could and should be the major building library of the twentieth century. The planning and design of a library building, however large or small, is, relatively speaking, a major operation, and deserves time, care and patience if the best results are to be produced.

Abstract
The need for customer service and quality was recognised to be of paramount importance in bringing Dairy Crest Foods to its current market leadership position. Deputy chief executive Michael Knapp discusses this development by focusing on the marketing and distribution of its retail and catering products, which account for £240 million of total turnover.
