Oct 15, 2008	Nikki Graham	Extremely useful explanations, with some (but not many) diagrams. However, I prefer the previous edition's layout, which is easier to read.	4

Sep 29, 2009	B D Finch	Good, but perhaps because it covers so many different engineering fields, I find it disappointingly patchy for civil engineering. Doesn't compare with the French Dicobat.	4
