Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Technical dictionaries tend to be either too general, attempting to cover all fields, or too narrowly specialized. This new reference is an effort to narrow the choice of terms somewhat, yet is still broad enough in scope to cover all fields of engineering. The more than 30,000 entries are arranged in alphabetical order, and in some cases there are parenthetical notations which specify usage is limited to a particular country, agency, etc. In the introduction, the compilers explain their list of fields covered, as well as their methodology for assembling the database used in producing this work. Their effort appears to have paid off. With the promise of regular updates, this has the potential to become a standard reference in engineering and other technical collections.
