Ebook Review
H. I. Epstein, University of Connecticut, Choice : This new edition (3rd ed., CH, Apr'95) of this handbook is divided into seven sections covering the fields of civil, architectural, mechanical, electrical, chemical and process plant, water and wastewater, and environmental engineering. Within each section there are several major topics, further divided into numerous subtopics...
Sci-Tech Book News : This resource for practicing engineers presents more than 5000 calculation procedures for solving common engineering problems. The volume is divided into sections corresponding to seven engineering disciplines: civil, architectural, mechanical, electrical, sanitary, environmental, and chemical. Utilizing a "cookbook" format, the handbook describes the problem to be solved; provides numbered calculation procedures to be followed; works out an example problem; and (in most instances) presents related calculations.

Ebook Review
...a surprisingly broad range of electrical topics of great concern to almost all modern engineers. The authors have assembled an authoritative and comprehensive reference tool specifically targeting practicing engineers. And, the volume has the potential to become a classic modern electrical engineering handbook. While it encompases many traditional subjects, it also addresses many areas of current research activity and international interest. --Kenneth L. Corum, Sun Microsystems
