- Summary:
- Not much has changed in the laws of conservation of mass and energy since the 1993 second edition, says Morris (emeritus, metallurgical engineering, Missouri U. of Science and Technology-Rolla), so much of the book remains the same. Two major changes have overtaken materials processing engineers, however. First most are not in metal anymore, but in fields such as semiconductors, the environment, and advanced and exotic materials. Second is the rise of the personal computer from a handy tool to the center of operations. So he and colleagues H. Alan Fine (U. of Kentucky-Lexington) and Gordon H. Geiger (U. of Arizona-Tucson) include examples from many disciplines in addition to metal; and use the Excel-based program FlowBal to calculate equations, sometimes refer readers to Wikipedia, and include a website and a CD-ROM. The handbook is still targeted to working engineers, especially novices. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
