5.0 out of 5 stars Very comprehensive job by highly qualified authors, February 5, 2002

By	Gabriella Jacobs (Cincinnati, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews

This is an exceptionally useful and user-friendly handbook. I am particularly impressed by the authors' credentials -- one of them is a Certified Plant Engineer, one is a Registered Professional Engineer, and one of them is a Medical Doctor (board-certified as a physician in general preventive medicine and public health). The illustrations supplement the text very well, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Useful and User-Friendly Facts from Highly Qualified Sources, February 5, 2002

By	Gabriella Jacobs (Cincinnati, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews

This is a very useful and user-friendly book. I am especially impressed by the qualifications of the authors. One is a Certified Plant Engineer and longtime member of the Association for Facilities Engineering, one is a Registered Professional Enginer, and one is a Medical Doctor (board-certified as a physician in general preventive medicine and public health.) The book covers a wide range of topics; the illustrations are very compelling, too. All 12 chapters were dense with facts yet easy to follow.
