Machining Fundamentals
Excellent textbook.This book has great illustrations and detailed instructions on how to do many of the setups for basic machining.Also, each section has the particular safety issues highlighted in red.Several references regarding cutting feeds and speeds to hardness conversions are found in the back.The workbook is also great for reinforcing the topics.So far the best text I have used. ...

good overview of composites
This is a good overview of composites. The chapter on mechanics could be rewritten using matrices which would eliminate many formulas.

The Practical Science of Reflow Soldering
Few people have made more contributions to reflow soldering than Dr. Lee has.He has been a driving force in taking surface mount technology (SMT) from an art to a science.This book is a compilation of these successes with ample references to the important work of others.Those who work in this field will find this book indispensable in setting up and optimizing SMT assembly processes.In my opinion Dr. Lee's book is unequal in its value to practitioners in SMT.

Solving your solder-reflow problems!

Difficult to follow and riddled with errors
This book suffers from several major deficiencies. First, it is inherently difficult to follow. The format is designed in such a way that you have to constantly refer back and forth between pages to get all the information you need for an example or derivation. The other thing is the examples are not clear. You find yourself solving the example again because the method isn't clear. In this way, I find the book extremely frustrating. Even after the problems with the contents, the book has errors. Lots and lots of errors. Just look on the inside front cover. "Principal Elastiac Equations"? I checked the dictionary, and I don't know what elastiac is. Or Ch. 12: "Yield and Fructure Criteria"? Is that a new term for the fracture of fructose? Finding all the errors is kind of fun, so if you're into that, get this book. Otherwise, look elsewhere.

Badly needs updating, editing, simplifying
This book makes a difficult subject even more difficult. While the definitions and general information are good enough, the derivations seem to be very complicated, esoteric, and confusing.This may be appropriate for graduate level (although many of these techniques are obsolete in view of FE analysis) but this book bills itself, and is used mainly for undergraduate deformable mechanics classes. There seem to be a number of mistakes in the book as well.Professors should probably not use this book for an undergraduate level course--find something newer.Undergrads will probably need to get some sort of supplementary outline material that will simplify things.

Riddled with typos
The good: This is a comprehensive book. The bad: It has tons of mistakes. There are typos galore. The most egregious one occurs in the chapter entitled "Yield and Fructure Criteria." That's right, "Fructure." Pray tell, what exactly is "Fructure"? That's what's printed in big letters. The proofreading is very, very, very sloppy. Maybe these mistakes are more a function of editing deadlines rather than with Popov himself, but that doesn't mean that this isn't a bad volume that you shouldn't waste your money on. I used this book as a text and was very disappointed. Save your money and buy Beer and Johnston or Craig instead. Or even Popov's earlier work, Mechanics of Materials, which I liked a lot. Engineering Mechanics of Solids is just horrible in its mistakes. ... Read more

Fa-Hwa 2nd edition
I have used the first edition and was generally pleased.The second edition, however, is unacceptable.The rewrite added a few interesting and a few less useful topics.The problems at the end of each section were changed but the answer key referred, in many cases, to the the first edition.Sometimes the solutions were large deviations from the stated problem.There were occasional proof reading errors, far too many for a major text.The students were frequently frustrated in their efforts to justify the answer to the problem as stated.

Price is not the best way to choose a text
As a college instructor, I try to choose texts based on quality, but with consideration of price. I thought this book was a good compromise, but wish I had kept my previous text. This has way too many errors for a 2ndedition, and has received considerable critisism from my students for beinghard to follow. There are better choices out there. ... Read more

Disorganized technical reading...
Although this book has accurate technical content, the organization is ill-thought and amounts to little more than numerous papers stapled together under a pretty cover.

PVD from A to Z
If you are new to PVD as I am, you will find this book to be well worth the money.If the book doesn't give you enough details on what you are interested in, it will give you a ton of references to get you in the right direction.As a graduate student working on different PVD techniques including RF Sputtering, Thermal Evaporation, Electron Beam Evaporation, and Arc Deposition I use this book all the time.The only drawback is that it is huge but I liked it so much, I simply bought a copy for the lab and a copy for home.

Practical Handbook from a very practical man.
This is a valuable Handbook for people working in related industries, universities and research institutes.

Thumb up!!!
Hi!!!
Creates an excellent foundation.
An excellent book for learning about fiberglass/composites. Before reading this book, I had little knowledge about composties, but a desire to learn. The information is presented in a way that anyone can understand it. Aird educates the reader about different fiber types and weaves, resins and resin systems, gel coat, trade tools, safety, and basic lay-up. He also includes information on molds, plugs, and strength/stress -- though I feel these sections make having some hands-on knowledge of composites an asset, which I lack. It is an excellent book that can take you from knowing nothing, to a point where you can talk intelligently about composites with someone in the FRP field. As other reviews have pointed out, this is not a step by step manual; but is probably a prerequisite to actually understanding one. In conclusion: I enjoyed this book and highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning about fiberglass and composite systems.

Definitely worth the price
I had an interest in getting into Fiberglassing, so i bought this book.As most of the other people who reviewed this book said, it's not a step by step manual, but it offers a very good overview.Good enough that i ended up buying a second copy for a friend.If you have an interest, i would recommend this book.It's worth the price. ...

Recovery And Refining Of Precious Metals - Second Edition
Written in a clear and simple manner, this newly revised reference follows the great success of the first edition (referred to as the "Precious Metal Bible") with a complete overview of the recovering, testing, extracting, and refining of precious metals. Both primary sources - placer gold, black sand, and ores - and secondary sources - scrap jewelry, electronic scrap, old films, buffings, spent plating and stripping solutions, catalytic automobile converters, and old eyeglasses are covered. Excellent gold refining book!
This book is well written. It takes highly technical language and turns it into verbage any layman can understand and easily apply. The sketches and formulas makes learning even easier. I was able to understand and apply the refining of gold, silver, and platinum quickly.

The non-chemist precious metal chemistry bible
It took me two years to obtain this book for it changed editor's houses several times in the near past.Yet, it was worth every efforts!The second edition is more thorough in it's common topics than the first edition, and contains new material.This book is worth every penny you'll spend on it and I bet that if you use it in the lab, you'll regret not being able to afford a second copy for safekeeping in your library.Whether you're a small time refining jeweller or a commercial gold refining operation, the book will not only give you applied recipes and procedures but also, stimulates your imagination with contemporary methods new ideas and an original conceptual approach to precious metal chemistry.It's a treasure trove of ideas and practical information for the non-chemist or the week-end basement-lab chemist who wants to learn the basics or the commercial operator who want to get new ideas on how to improve his bottom line.Read more
