unprecedented esoterica
you cant have a better book on polyurethane elastomers. everything you want to know. a real hiden treasure

Excellent book
This is the best book on polyurethane elastomer. Easy to read, comprehensive and packed with valuable information. The only draw back is that it was written 30+ years ago. ... Read more

Excellent reference for theory and application.
This book provides an introduction to powder diffraction theory as well as a comprehensive list of everything involved with the actual diffractometer.This is not just a theory book nor a technical manual.It describes clearly all the factors involved in the production of x-rays, the workings of motors and detectors to the reasons for using divergence slits as well as the principles of phase identification and quantitative analysis.It is a great book for someone who will be using a diffractometer for the first time and will be doing the work themselves.This is not a crystallography text.It is more a handbook of practical applied powder diffraction.Well worth the money. ...

Good for processing
This book is written a very understandable and readable style.It seems to be very good and thorough in the processing areas.There are a number of errors in the first few chapters on structure, so if you use this book you should supplement it with something else.

Excellent Resource for Many Reasons
From my particular perspective, Brent Strong's text on plastics is valuable because it is one of the very few places one can turn for a substantial discussion of high-energy radiation processing of plastics by means such as e-beams, microwaves, UV light, and plasmas. E-beam processing of plastics to impart commercially valuable improvements in their physical properties is especially well covered.

excellent book
I have used this book as a reference and for teaching a Plastics Course in Mechanical Engineering.It is very easy to read, it does not get into too much confusing details about the chemistry - it explains the chemical fundamentals very easily. It does a great job of relating plastic structures with actual properties such as permeability, strength and conductivity. All my students consider a great book. It is one of the best written books I have encountered during my academic career.Worth its weight in gold !! ... Read more

Excellent for the novice - good for the veteran molder
Being a manufacturer of infrared rotational processing equipment, I found the book to be both concise and informative for the novice, as well as thought provoking for the experienced molder: Specifically, chapter 7:"Predictions for the Future".

A very thorough and educational work on rotational molding.
Basically, there are three books that I know of which cover the topic of rotational molding. These 3 books are by Beall, Bruins, and Crawford, respectively. I have the books by Beall and Crawford. I haven't seen thebook by Bruins. Being an engineer and tinkerer, I really appreciated theeasy reading manner in which Beall presents the topic in a methodical andstep-by-step manner. When reading, one can tell that Beall really put hislife long experience onto paper. He didn't hold anything back. All in all, a good introduction tool to rotational molding.
I found this book to be packed with good information that was easy to follow.It is a great tool for those new to rotational molding. ... Read more

It may help yr experiment
The clear text will guide my experiment in composites.
What I needed, when I needed it
I needed to get up to speed on DMA fast and I got what I needed. It didn't provide all the info I required for my specific application (submicron thin films) but it did provide a sound foundation for further investigation. This is truly what it claims to be, a practical introduction, many thanks to the author.

Finally! The Book That Spells Out The Answers To Questions.
I spent many hours researching for a Thermal Mechanical textbook that was packed full of "Get Down To The Point Answers". Let's face it, there are not many current Thermal Analysis textbooks for sale. The booksI've seen are too scrambled with no understanding at the end. This book wasVERY informative, and it answered my questions. Special Thanks to theauthor.Please write many more books with the same intentions in mind:"We would like to understand and learn from what we read"! ThankYou! ... Read more

Better Construction Drawings
Very good book. It has helped me to make better construction drawings.

Cha-Ching!
After years of architecture school and years in practice, Building Construction Illustrated remains for me one of the best resources for construction detailing and general architectural design available.This is the first copy I've purchased since the 1st Edition and although I haven't had time to identify everything that's been updated, this volume is very thorough, simply and clearly noted, and, of course, well drawn.A MUST HAVE in any architect's library at any phase of their career.

Well illustrated, well thought out.
This book offers a good introduction to construction, with illustrations that will make you, if not dangerous, at least on the road to competence. ... Read more
