Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Excellent resource for Junior Engineer
The book introduces fundamental principles and goes on to illustrate ingenious solutions. The sourcbook successfully eliminates the need to re-invent the wheel during every project. I look forward to thoroughly understanding the text and implementing the solutions presented.
Highly recommended for the inquisitive mind, the junior design engingeer and any person with an interest in how things work.
