Editorial Reviews
Review
"Wiley's latest may lay claim to being the most inclusive - both in breadth and depth - with this excellent reference. Kutz has successfully sought to include more "authoritative discussions, real-world examples, and insightful analyses. It is the addition of this extra text that will find appreciative readers, especially those relatively new to a topic." (American Reference Books Annual, 2008)
From the Publisher
Mechanical engineering encompasses a broad range of topics and specialized areas of study including aerospace, chemical, materials, nuclear, electrical, and general engineering. This book supplies all of the critical information relevent to mechanical engineering in an easy-to-use single-volume format.

This review is from: Mechanical Engineers' Handbook (Hardcover)
The Mechanical Engineering Handbook provides extensive coverage on the fundamental topics and emerging issues involved in mechanical engineering, from the structure of solids to virtual reality. Each chapter has a detailed table of contents, most contain graphs, figures, references, and a bibliography to aid the reader's comprehension. Several chapters in this handbook were found to be particularly engaging: "What the Law Requires of an Engineer" provides examples and case studies to clarify topics such as hazard analysis; and, "Electronic Information Resources: Your On-line Bookshelf," discusses why tapping into technical information can help engineers avoid mistakes. The final section of the handbook, "Management, Finance, Quality, Law, and Research," strays from the traditional ideas of a professional desk reference. It deals with a variety of topics not dealt with in similar works. For example, the chapter "Managing People" explains motivation and barriers to team performance.
