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...

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!

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.

The book came fast. Was in the condition described. I recommended buying from them. I would buy from them again someday if needed.

Received it quickly. It was the product stated. A little more wear on an item than how I usually receive used goods.

The text book is an excellent resource for my upcoming professional engineer's exam. I would recommend this text book for potential professional engineers getting ready to take the professional engineer's exam

We speak English & use the Metric System in the rest of the World.

When will American publishers discover this ?


This book requires me to convert every single worked example to the units used by the rest of the world.

I suggest that they publish the worked examples on a CD with book using the units that he rest of the world use !!!
