Summary: Good, but needs some changes
Comment: This is a good book: easy to understand and apply. However, some changes are in order. In the Special Topics sectionl, a table presents the thermal stresses and thermal durability of several materials--without specifying the temperature and pressure for the materials. As material properties change drastically at high temperatures, such tables are incomplete without the above information. I hesitated in using the information in my design report, and asked my materials and manufacturing professor about it as well. He agreed that this information must be provided for the table to be of any use. It would also help if you specify the units after presenting an equation. Yes, we can figure it out, but try sitting on your behind for hours on end and having to stop every so often in your design to figure out the units for an equation! Colorful language flows like anything!
