1.0 out of 5 stars Caveat Emptor, February 7, 2006
By 
Dave (Mountain View, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Construction Planning, Equipment, and Methods (McGraw-Hill Series in Civil Engineering) (Hardcover)
The second chapter is the nuts and bolts of financing equipment. The numbers are commonly wrong. There are WAY to many mistakes. This is a textbook for a heavy equipment class. It's the third week of the semester (Fresno State) and we're dying...

1.0 out of 5 stars No attention to detail, June 2, 2003
By 
"thomasquigley" (Denver, CO United States) - See all my reviews
This book had so many errors, the entire class including the instructor were confused. It is very sad to see a textbook in its fifth or sixth edition with so many mistakes. Many of the questions at the end of the chapter are so poorly written, that there was no solution. Clearly, the authors had a goal and a message to convey, but because there was no attention to detail, the message was muddy at best. I remain disenchanted with the general quality of textbooks, but this is one of the worst examples of a textbook I have ever seen. Come on America, educate!

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent, May 23, 2008
This review is from: Construction Planning, Equipment, and Methods (McGraw-Hill Series in Civil Engineering) (Hardcover)
This book was alright. Some illustrations, decent descriptions. Some of the problems were too in depth. It would be alright for some just starting out in construction or someone who just wants to learn a little about it.
