Electricity, Fluid Power, and Mechanical Systems for Industr,
By Cris Folk (South central Wisconsin) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Electricity, Fluid Power, and Mechanical Systems for Industrial Maintenance (Paperback)
Kissell's experience and knowledge are well documented by thisbook. The key strength of this book is the compact yet thoroughcoverage of what matters most to the average reader of this book.That reader is of course, a maintenance mechanic currently working in industry. Many books on these topics are just too wordy and intimidating. Kissell's brevity is helpful without sacrificing content. The content and graphics are simple and straight forward, not spending too much time getting deep into engineering level discussion. I also like the order in which the material is presented, it has a natural flow that keeps the average reader from having to flip back and forth through the book to make sense of it. My recommendations to improve the book would be to: 1. Add some additional practice problems and also outline some practical laboratory exercises to reinforce the text. 2. Make references to other material that delve deeper into the theory behind the basics. Something similar to "For more information on this topic...Kissell's other works are equally well written, and prove his capabilities of deeper level discussion on industrial technology. With this book, he has succeeded in writing a book that provides the most essential theories and troubleshooting tips, and avoids material that does not aid in understanding. END

Entry Level Maintenance Techs Dream Come True,
By C Bowman. (St.Catharines, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Electricity, Fluid Power, and Mechanical Systems for Industrial Maintenance (Paperback)
A few years back I graduated from a college in Toronto, which has a GREAT! Automation and Robotics program... it provided me with the building blocks to develop what many would consider a successful career. I learned a lot on the job, but found it difficult to ask the right questions to the problems I was having... After I came across this book, I found all of the questions... with the answers! I now keep a copy of the book on my bookshelf at home... and in the top drawer of my tool box... I occasionally load it out to new techs in the department... but I make sure they go get thier own copies!
