filled with mistakes, poorly edited This book has some good points. Most notably, it contains a lot of detailed data and information related to the design and mass production of motors. The problem is knowing which information to trust. As a case in point, I counted 28 formula errors within the first chapter alone. In my view, errors of this type and number are unacceptable -- they undermine whatever value the book might otherwise have. Regrettably, other serious flaws exist. For example, the editors chose (incredibly) to repeat entire sections of the book: literally word-for-word. Apparently, they were either asleep, or else they thought a bigger handbook would sell better. The truly sad thing is that the book does have potential, and it is evident that a lot of work must have gone into it on the part of its many participants. Perhaps with some capable and conscientious editing work, a second edition will be more worthwhile. In the mean time, there are other resources that are much more deserving of one's valuable time and money. | ||
