Negative Positive
Title: AWFULl!! DO NOT BUY THIS BOOK!!!
Review: Read the reviews for this book. They are bad except for a couple probably left by the author or publishing company. The problems are as follows.-Typos everywhere-Mistakes in so many of the example and practice problems that it is ridiculous. I would estimate a third of the problems have mistakes.-Solutions are woefully lacking in detail.-Some topics covered are not included in the FE reference handbook, so you are studying them for no reason. One small example, it includes spherical pressure vessels, which the reference book does not.This book is an embarassment to the authors and publishing company. I hope these engineers are not doing anything involving public safety because the lack of attention to detail is startling.The only positive I can say is that some people might be helped in their studies by finding the authors' mistakes.
Is the review positive or negative?
