Review
Review of the first edition: 'This book is strongly recommended for students and practitioner alike. It is studded with gems of information and fascinating comparisons well illustrated both in the diagrams and the text.' Engineering Design Education and Training
Review of the first edition: 'Indeed it deserves the same wide audience as J. E. Gordon's brilliant popular classic: The Science of Strong Materials and Structures. It deals largely with different aspects of design but it resembles them in its clarity, wisdom, humour, and in its astonishing range of examples.' The Times Higher Education Supplement
Book Description
This textbook for engineering students provides an introduction to design for function. This second edition has been extensively revised, with more examples and a new chapter with actual design case studies to illustrate key ideas.
