Choice Review
A book by a mix of academic and industrial authors, in elegant and easy-to-understand English, that covers a wide variety of topics in the area of manufacturing, including those traditionally belonging to industrial engineering. Written in compartmentalized form, the book's sections are freestanding and can be understood as introductory works. With the exception of a few sections, the book involves a mainly qualitative approach. It is, therefore, recommended for general readers and managers who feel the need to widen their perspectives by obtaining technical knowledge, something that many other books cannot provide. Nevertheless, the sections on metal forming and castings are, indeed, useful for advanced undergraduate and graduate engineering students as well as professionals and practitioners. A further advantage is that, although authored and printed in the UK, the book refers to US industrial standards. S. D. El Wakil; University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth
