A Pocketful of Steam Problems (With Solutions)
My idea was to list all the things that could go wrong with a steam system, and then list the possible causes of those problems. I wanted the book to cover one-pipe, two-pipe, vapor/vacuum, vacuum, and commercial steam systems, so I went about writing the book the same way I would go about troubleshooting a system - methodically.

E.D.R. - Ratings for Every Darn Radiator (and convector) you'll probably ever see
E.D.R. is 272 pages of nothing but radiators and convectors with their pictures and their ratings. I’ve included a preface about the effect of radiator enclosures and paint, and a Q&A about old radiators in general. We had E.D.R. printed on high-quality paper and we used 42 metal rings for the binding because I see this book as a tool that you’ll take into the field and use just about every day. It's not going to fall apart. There’s also a complete index in the back of the book, of course.

How to Teach Technicians (without putting them to sleep)
I used a lot of stories in this book. I wrote about how I leaned to be an effective teacher of technicians. I recounted all the horrible things that happened to me along the way. I explained in detail what should go into the preparation of the meeting space, the audience and the teacher. And I tried my best to bring to this book all the fun and joy that I try to bring to every presentation that I do. As I said, there are lots of stories here.

Primary-Secondary Pumping Made Easy!
I've covered two-pipe primary-secondary systems as well as the more popular one-pipe systems in this book. I've also looked at lots of ways to use two-, three-, and four-way valves, as well as injection pumping. And I've explained the root of some common problems you've probably experienced in the field. There's a reason for unstable secondary circuit temperatures and ghost flow, and I've done my best to show you what causes these problems and how to avoid them in the first place (while saving money on the installation!).
