Summary: A good read for the new economy engineer
Comment: If you need to know the ins-and-outs of designing heatsinks -- then this is a must read.

I found the diagrams and examples useful.

If you are a beginner, as perhaps the previous reviewer is, then yes, there are not enough problems to work through and it would have been nice to see less theory and more real-world examples.

all in all you can't go wrong reading this book.

Summary: Too much theory, not enough application
Comment: As an electronics packaging engineer, I really get tired of getting the runaround from the heatsink companies and was hoping to find a book that gave me a straight-forward process for physically designing a heatsink. Instead I found myself falling asleep in front of a text that gave me flashbacks to my college years. I realize that theory is valuable, but if it is not put to the test it is worth no more than the paper on which it is written. The amount of practical insight in this book was derived from references and was enough to fit in a thimble. Examples were few and far between and although written like a textbook, there were no problems to work through to cement the theory. Face it John Wiley & Sons, this book should have been named "Theory of Heatsink Design and Analysis". The academicians will love it, but for those of us with our feet on the floor and noses to the grindstone...forget this one!
