5.0 out of 5 stars
a great ready referance. "It's awsome baby" Dick Vitel,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Wiley Engineer's Desk Reference: A Concise Guide for the Professional Engineer (Hardcover)
It's a really handy reference with all those details you've forgotten. It contains a wealth of practical information and many thumb rules and overall estimating guides to simplify and aid the solution of engineering problems. In one book the author has assembled a wide variety of engineering information usually only found in the massive hard to use engineering handbooks or in an assembly of references. Well wor th the money.
