Did anybody edit/read this thing before it was printed?
28 May 2002
Format:Hardcover
Pretty disappointing. With all due respect to the author, who may well have been too busy to see to little details, or who may be the victim of a bad editor, I had to buy this for a class, and it must be amoung the worst textbooks I've seen. It switches levels from elementary to advanced at random, leaves out important equations and includes a lot of things beyond the scope of the book (in the sense that you'd need a different book to act as a bridge between the easy and advanced sections of this one.) Not even very good for a reference book given the spotty coverage.

A Well Written Basic Text on a Complex Subject Matter
30 Sep 1999
Format:Hardcover
This text seems to strive to explain the complex subject of engineering for space in a manner that relates everything to first principles. This strategy is terrifically successful and makes for a thorough understanding of the concepts. This text is modern in it's examples and benefits for it. A great university level textbook.
Pretty good textbook
29 Sep 2005
Format:Hardcover
As far as my advanced engineering texts go this one is pretty good. A prior reviewer is right that it doesn't have every equation that you would find in a dynamics and control text or a differential equations text for that matter either, but if it did then it would be 3 times as thick. I appreciated the author's focus on what I needed to know that I hadn't learned in other classes.
