Indispensable for any technoid 13 Aug 1996

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

A treasury of construction, technical, and scientific data,
conversions, and any other related information you ever
wanted to know. Very highly recommended for all scientists,
engineers, architects, technical writers, and anybody else
with an interest in technical, engineering, or scientific
subjects. The one caveat is that Glover uses the engineering
rather than the scientific notation for representing large
numbers. This book is a perfect gift for any man--Tim Allen
fans in particular.

Amazing book saw it on Mythbusters

A good collection of facts..But one MAJOR snag

A very nice collection of data, very wide subject area!
But, one major snag... Most of the tables are in imperial. Please publish a metric version, far more useful.

Good reference

A very good quick-reference guide for scientific & engineering data. However, it is very US-centric; most units it uses are American, with no SI conversion offered and detailed... Read more
