Modern Welding is a comprehensive text that has long been the standard for teaching the theory, fundamentals, equipment, and techniques of welding technology. The 2004 edition includes coverage of new processes, such as friction stir welding, and has been reorganized to place stronger emphasis on the more-widely used arc processes. In addition to covering all welding and cutting processes, the text includes thorough coverage of welding symbols, testing and inspecting, and getting a job in the welding industry. Correlated with the QC-10 Standard.

As advertised, this book is comprehensive in scope - even the most esoteric forms of industrial welding are covered. It is a good reference text, but probably not a good beginner's how-to book. As a welding amateur, this book expanded my knowledge of the subject tremendously. The text is oriented more towards commercial and industrial welding that amateur welding.
One subject that is not covered that would have been most helpful is the electrical needs of welding equipment and how they are or can be met.

This book is essential for the novice (like me) because you get everything from instruction to reference material. It contains safety information, step-by-step instructions and reference material that a novice may never be able to find otherwise (such as recommended initial dynamic pressures for various tips and actual color pictures flames from different gas mixtures). There are some typos and it's a little tough finding certain things by index, but you should be reading the whole section anyway. You should certainly read this book before purchasing any equipment or performing any welding at all; it could save your paycheck, your project or even save your life!

If you want to repair bridges, make a chastity belt or simply want to learn something about welding, then this is the book you should purchase. Modern Welding is well organized and profusely illustrated. There is a wealth of detail in this book which should satisfy everyone from the professional welder to the backyard craftman.
I was seized by an irrational desire to do some welding. I wanted a "how to" book that would explain how to do cutting and welding safely. Modern Welding explains every step in the welding process in a clear and concise manner. There are many illustrations which further clarify the text. For those readers with a professional bent, there are chapters on print reading, inspectioin, setting up a shop and getting and holding a job.
I purchased some used oxyactylene equipment and shortly after the book arrived from Amazon Books, I was making sparks fly in the back yard. I thoroughly recommend this clearly written and beautifully illustrated book.
