Format: Hardcover
I've had this handbook for 2 years now, and I still am amazed by the wealth of information it provides on every page. Information is well presented and concise; figures and graphs are clear. Mechanical Engineering is an incredibly vast field, and hundreds of books have been written on any one topic. So do not expect to find the answers to your engineering problems, as diverse as they may be, within ONE book. BUT, as a handy reference, to review forgotten concepts on anything from logarithms to pumps to steam plants to automobiles to pumps, to look up data on pipe diameters, air conditioning coefficients, thermodynamic tables, vibration equations, tables of integrals, etc, etc ... there's no other like it. Together with Machinery's Handbook they form the best reference combo a Mechanical Engineer a can have. Just remember, for your more specific needs, go to a book on that covers only that field.

This book is an excellent general reference on a number of areas of science, engineering, and technology. I often refer to it first when searching for information on an unfamiliar subject. Most mechanical engineers working in design, manufacturing, and construction would benefit by having a copy of this book in their personal library.

I have a slightly older copy and I have found that for the PE exam this is a good reference however, if you are doing something in the real world, the Machinery's Handbook is FAR better. This book gives good overviews of a huge variety of topics that any Mech Engr might need but not much depth. It is about as much information as a manager might want to know.

I used to bring all of my boxes of textbooks to every locataion that I work. Now, On my temporary assignments I bring one. On any given day, on gas turbines to fusion reactor design, Marks' is filled with useful technical information. I highly reccomend this book.

A very generalized, but complete manual covering all topics in the mechanical engineering field. All descriptions and explanations are kept brief and to the point. The explanations are just enough to make the reader understand the basics of what is needed for comprehension. The material is well organised. A good choice for a desktop reference book.

This book has a lot of information most of which is useless calculus integration with vary brief summery which seems to me being derived from other books just thrown into the mix with general categories. The book is basically an oversized machinery's handbook but with a poorly written index and with a lot of inapt formulas that don't have a explanation for formula variables used in the equation. If you do a lot of strength of material design I would suggest a machinery's hand book, or the McGraw Hill Mechanical Engineering Design book which is an excellent P.E. exam reference book. Stay away from the Roarks Formulas for stress & strain book its more poorly written then the Marks.

I'm an advanced student of Mechanical Engineering, and I'm reading this manual, and is one of the best reference guide I ever had. The great quantity of topics is a great help.
So, if you want to have a guide with topics related with engeenering, the MARKS is what you need.

I did not know that they could pack so much into one book. By the way this book is big and heavy.
1. Mathematical Tables
2. Mathematics
3. Mechanics of Solids & Fluids
4. Heat
5. Strength of Materials
6. Materials of Engineering
7. Fuels & Furnaces
8. Machine Elements
9. Power Generation
10. Materials Handling
11. Transportation
12. Building Construction and Equipment
13. Shop Processes
14. Pumps & Compressors
15. Electrical and Electronics Engineering
16. Instruments and Controls
17. Industrial Engineering
18. Environment Control

The sections do not do justice to the almost infinite about of information and tables contained in this volume; for example under digital computers there is a table on Binary-Octal-Dismal conversions. Interestingly enough they left off Hexadecimal.

It makes for good reading if you want to fill in information that you never heard of. The handbook is best suited for people that already have a question so that they can understand the answer.
