An advanced text
Make sure that you keep your deformable solids book because this book does not contain any of the basics for reference.

Composite Beams in Bending
Well, I have lots of book and this is one of the books I have in my bookshelf.Obviously I have not read the entire book but I did of course read pages from 302 to 309.I was particularly interested in Composite Beams in Bending and those 7 pages did help me.I am not sure if there were any errors in the mathematical calculations as noted by some earlier reviewer but these 7 pages looked okay to me. Extremely Complete and Thorough
Mathematical derivations are VERY complete and relatively straight forward.There is a TON of material covered, and I constantly refer back to it in my graduate-level Mechancial Engr. courses. - even F.E.M. ... Read more

Forget the CD Rom, buy the book
The book is great.The CD-Rom is an exercise in frustration.That you can only install it on a single computer is the first frustration.Then I tried to print a section for use in the shop.The pages that came out on the printer were not the pages that I requested (error between displayed and actual page numbers?).When I tried to print again, it said I had exceeded the printing limit.

Great for School and Work....
I have been out of school now for 5+ years...I had to share only 3 Machinery's Handbooks with my class of 30 at LTI... Then when I got out on the job market, I found that most places will not supply you with one, and you almost always need one in the engineering feald, weather it is Mechanical or Arch... (I have worked with both!).So this November (2003), I saved up for one, since I am always borrowing one at work from coworkers...So now I have the newest one in our office at Firestone Industrial Products Co.. Makes me feel good that I have the most up to date one...And now everone is barrowing from me! Plan Ahead
Everything mentioned in previous reviews is true. I would only add or suggest to buy the large print edition. You will likely keep this book a long long time and technical data, formulas, tables, etc. will not change, but your vision might. ... Read more

A good start, but it won't get you a PhD
Miller and Solomon have prepared a good refresher for writing organic mechanism.I might suggest this book for a student learning organic chemistry, or someone who is returning to the field.However, for preparation towards qualifying or cumulative exams, this review will leave you short.

A big step towards the understanding of organic chemistry
This book is made for those who think that Organic Chemistry is just a succession of empirical reactions. If you have problems memorizing your Organic course this book should help a lot. All along the text you will learn how to derive a plausible mechanism for a given reaction. Miller dida great job in demonstrating that there is logic in Organic Chemistry.Moreover the book provides solid tools for those who plan to move towardsmore advanced concepts. This second edition displays a much improvedpresentation. A must, affordable, simple and efficient. ... Read more

Super resource!
This book is a very useful resource if you deal in sterling silver flatware as it provides actual photographs, not drawings of the handles of each patter.The other benefit this book provides is that you can identify the pieces based on size -- and accurately call a piece by the proper name.Each pattern has a list of many available pieces and their value.I use this book alot and bought one for by business partner -- anyone who deals in sterling flatware should have a copy!

good for a beginning
easy to follow and while this does not have hallmarks or much history, does carry clear pictures of standard patterns and makers.Good for a start and considering how little is out there, not bad.

Even More Disappointed...
I wish I had read the above review before I spent my money on this book. I think if someone is going to sell an identification "guide" for a specific category of goods and they are only going to cover a representative selection of that category, they should at least be honest about it on the cover. The cover of this one should say "If you only need a few photos from each manufacturer and you don't need makers' marks to help you IDENTIFY your silver, then this book is for you!!!" ... Read more

Great introduction to welding...
With the purchase of a brand new Miller GMAW welding machine (wirefeed electrode), my boss entered us into the world of welding. Even though a 30 minute tutorial at the welding supplier was enough to get us started, I bought this book at a local retailer as a reference.
dynamite book!
This book is appropriate for beginners to experts. The book is written clearly and concisely. The examples and projects are top notch. Recommended to anyone who wants to know or wants to review any subject in welding and brazing.

pretty good
This is a dry, but very comprehensive, book on basic welding practices. I suspect it was written for college level welding classes.

Great instruction manual
This book is great for anyone interested in makeing small blades.It gives a complete run down of all the required gear you will need, how to set up a workshop, where to source your materials from, how to make a forge and most importantly of all, how to actually make a blade out of a lump of steel.Very interesting, even if you have no intention of actually making knives.

Written by a guy who knows
The author of this book is an accomplished bladesmith and well respected among his peers. He makes knives professionally and has a web site out there somewhere showing his product. Prices aren't shown, but I think they are pretty high. This book is a good contribution to the field of metalworking.
Simply the best
While you can't learn any craft this complicated solely from a book, this one comes pretty close. It's an impressive primer on the field covering everything from laying out your shop to tools/equipment, steels/alloys, grip materials, leatherwork, construction, heat-treating, grinding, sharpening, and tempering. It even covers Japanese heat-treating and polishing techniques and how to forge several patterns of Damascus steel. There are great charts/illustrations too. The author not only knows his craft but he is able to communicate this knowledge clearly and effectively to his readers. His writing is pleasant and easy to follow.
