Media Reviews
This has been my favorite text since I have been teaching this class. Colorful, Good separation of topics, Good overall flow of information. I do not know of a book of this caliber on the market.
The content of this book are accurate, up-to-date, and complete. The artwork and photographs are very impressive. Our students are able to use these examples in helping with the hands on work in our program.
The book does a great job of introducing student to manufacturing. The text covers all relevant topics and the order is logical. The quality and accuracy of the photos are excellent!
