Review
"Should have broad appeal in many kinds of industry, ranging from automotive to computers – basically any organization concerned with products having moving parts!"
—David A. Rigney,
Materials Science and Engineering Department, The Ohio State University, Columbus, USA
…this book does a fine job of comprehensively covering the subject. A unique feature is the inclusion in various chapters of numerous interesting and unusual examples of the application of friction science, proving that tribologists and tribological problems are truly indispensible and multidisciplinary.

… this book does a fine job of comprehensively coving the subject…This aspect of the book alone makes interesting reading for both highly technical people as well as those with more than the usual curiosity for how things work.
