Description
Experts from academia and industry have contributed sections on their areas of expertise to provide one of the most comprehensive sources of information for engineers. Among the many subjects covered are tribology, nuclear and offshore engineering, health and safety and the many applications of computers in engineering. The wide range of subjects covered, the concise but readable style, the large number of illustrations and the extensive reference lists make this book one of the most valuable volumes available on mechanical engineering.
Reviews / Votes
'An excellent resource for academic libraries.' Choice 'In 1946 the Newnes Engineers Reference Book set a new standard for a high quality reference publication for engineers. This twelfth edition continues the tradition and has been completely rewritten to incorporate all subjects of importance to mechanical engineers.' The Engineer's Journal 'The presentation of the book is good - the text is clear and easy to read and the illustrations and the diagrams are very good indeed. The span of subjects is comprehensive and I can honestly say that I would like to have this one on the shelf at home.' Mechanical Incorporated EngineerMore details
