5.0 out of 5 stars modern refrigeration and air conditioning, March 16, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Modern Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (Study Guide) (Paperback)

This soft cover book is a study guide and only has questions (an examination book). The questions can only be answered from information in the larger hard cover book of the same title by the same authors.

The contents of this book as listed here are not correct and are the contents of the hard cover text book. This soft cover book has no information what so ever, it is purely questions to be answered by the reader based on the reader reading the hard cover book. It also appears that there are two hard cover books available with the same list of contents, both books being by the same authors but the front cover photo is different; the most recent book is modern refrigeration and air conditioning 2000. It is incorrectly shown by Amazon that this soft cover book is the same book as the two hard cover books.

This soft cover book is usefull to a reader who wants to test themselves after reading the hard cover books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Modern Refrigeration Resource, July 25, 2005

By	Dominick Aricchi "Instructor / Career Coach" (W.Caldwell, New Jersey) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Modern Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (Hardcover)

Thanks to the length of time this book has been available and the frequent revisions to the copyright, it continues to get bigger and better as time goes on.

My bookshelf has at least 5 of those revisions that frequently get utilized . Each revision builds upon the prior publication and expands on the detail they provide.

This publication represents an established reference standard for the HVAC/R Industry. It is especially valuable because of the extent of the different technical topics presented within its covers.

Some have tried to copy the format and the content but still fail to match its quality and level of professionalism.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good diagrams- but that's all!, June 23, 1999

By	[e-mail] (Savannah Ga., USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Modern Refrigeration and Air Conditioning (Laboratory Manual) (Paperback)

This is a good book to get a beginners understanding of refrigeration equipment. HOWEVER be careful not to buy this paperback edition in hopes that it will give you anything close to the hardcover's information! This is at best a good classroom companion to be used with a teacher at the helm. It is even set up as a lesson and answer book, just like in highschool. I was dissappionted when after the thirty day limit, I cracked the book for the first time and found that I had purchased a highschool coarse book. Good as it would be for that, the description is not clear about it. The hardcover might be the thing you're looking for if you would like good straight forward info.
