Summary: This is the worst text book I've ever had to read.
Comment: I've been in college for many years now, as I'm working on my second degree now, and this is absolutely the worst book I've ever bought.
There is at least one typographical error on each page.
There are gross grammatical errors, incomplete sentences, whole paragraphs that say absolutely nothing, and even paragraphs repeated (almost one after another).
I would like to think that some of the examples are incorrect on purpose to provoke thought and a more thorough understanding on part of the student, but I doubt that is the case.
The graphs and diagrams are dry and monotonous, and for the most part meaningless in enhancing or visualizing the subject matter.
Engineering texts aren't supposed to be entertainment; I understand that Facilities Planning isn't exactly the subject matter of J.R.Tolkien. Taking that fact into consideration, this book is still horribly written. I don't expect the authors to write a perfect text, but the quality of writing in this book is unacceptably low.
One gets the impression that the authors were doing their best to stretch out the material as much as they could. In my honest opinion, I believe this subject matter could be covered just as thoroughly in half as many words.
If you're a teacher, do the higher education system a favor and sit down and read any three chapters of this book before you make it your class's text.
If you're a student required to study this book, my sincerest sympathies go out to you.
Rating: 5
Summary: One of comprehensive facilities design book of this decade
Comment: Technology will change but fundamental will remain. If you're looking for a fundamental facilities design book, you won't be disappointed with this textbook. It's one of the major reference book for IE students and professional.
