Review:
Jerry Galyen, Pinellas Technical Center: "I feel the book meets all requirements found in the welding industry."
Dale Szabala, Anoka Technical College: "The concept of how the text is built and how the units start simple and progress into more challenging problems; I see this as beneficial to the students."
