Bad book, very bad book,
By A Customer
This review is from: Design of Machine Elements (7th Edition) (Paperback)
This book is so full of errors it is unbelieveable that it is a seventh edition. Examples are non existant in relation to problem assignments. Those that are given are full of errors either from the author or the typesetter. The solution manual IN ADDITION to this text are required to get any sort of learning from it. It is definately not worth the price that the publisher sets. If you are looking for a text for a college class, look somewhere else.

Design of Machine Elements comments,
This review is from: Design of Machine Elements (8th Edition) (Hardcover)
This book is so terrible that, if you are enrolled in a class for which this is the required text, i suggest that you drop the class or demand another reference from your professor. During my undergraduate curriculum I used this textbook for 2 seperate college courses on machine design, and so feel qualified to say that this is by far the worst textbook I have dealt with in my whole academic career. The 8th edition is full of even more errors than the 7th edition, so much so that it is almost laughable that the author even SUPPLIES "answers" for his chapter questions. Numbers are wrong, equations are incorrect and references to tables and graphics are abhorrent. The book is notorious for, in text explanations and sample problems, referring to uncited charts and graphs that are either no longer in the book or are hundreds of pages ahead. Good luck finding them. Errors aside, the book is an incoherent sampling of approximation techniques that may be suitable for the occasional industry user but are unacceptable for somebody seeking knowledge and understanding. Please do not reward the publisher with ANY money for this book.

Design of Machine Elements,
By Chris Morgera (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Design of Machine Elements (7th Edition) (Paperback)
This is one of the worst books I've ever read for the design of machine components. Not only are there hardly any sample problems, the book is filled with errors.The authors shown no sign of consistancey or process for any of the problems that are worked out. If you want to learn the design of machine components, I strongly suggest learning it from another book.
