Review

4 Star Review for the 3rd Edition: "This book was clearly written by a process engineer not a production engineer. Meyer's handbook covers all the new technology from a developer's point of view. The detail is excellent, complete with tables showing who is using this technology worldwide and what product breaks can be expected from its employment." -- Dirk J.
