Reviewer Comments:
“This book is well written and covers a good deal of material. It will be a sound foundation for mechanical classes… I would have no reservations about adopting the text.”
---Jason Kefover, York Technical College
“Compact and to the point. Brief enough to keep the reader’s interest and long and detailed enough to fully explain subjects and concepts. This is a book that should be kept for reference later in a student’s career.”
---Michael Case, Middle Georgia Technical College
