5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Book - Well Written, Clear and Practical, July 19, 2007
Of all the heat transfer and thermo books I have, this is my favorite. The authors clearly explain the many difficult concepts involved in heat transfer, and I found the examples helpful. The figures are well drawn and illuminating. I also found that there were enough practical equations and data in the book to do some real-life heat transfer calculations. This is a really wonderful book.

One of the reviewers is right that this book is available for free online. Just shows that price doesn't always correlate with quality.

3.0 out of 5 stars Heat Transfer, February 15, 2008
Book is fair, but the author needs to check for typos a little more. Price is right.
