Review

'The book has very real merits ... this is a stimulating book that teachers in the field should read.' Michael French, Journal of Mechanical Engineering Science

'This book is aimed at students who are starting courses in engineering ... the authors approach is somewhat novel, with an emphasis on the social implications of engineering. This is one of the great strengths of this book, which should have considerable appeal to a wide audience. The style throughout the book is clear and readable, and the book provides a very accessible introduction to a number of areas in engineering and physical science.' Paul C. Yates, Chemistry in Britain

'This book is aimed at students who are starting courses in engineering. At the outset, the author states that his approach is somewhat novel, with an emphasis on the social implications of engineering. This is one of the great strengths of this book, which should have considerable appeal to a wide audience. The style throughout the book is clear and readable, and the book provides a very accessible introduction to a number of areas in engineering and physical science ... The problems included are based mainly on real situations, and answers for each are given; many are sufficiently general as to be useful in provoking further discussion.' Paul C. Yates, Chemistry in Britain

Book Description

Aimed at beginning engineering students, this book presents the basic ideas of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and combustion by relating the engine to the atmosphere. It also discusses the greenhouse effect and the social implications of engineering in a crowded world with increasing energy demands.
