CHOICE Review

Published for the first time in 1945, this British import now has 53 chapters and an expanded, detailed index; more than 80 British consultants contributed to this revision. In comparison to the 14th edition (1985), existing chapters have been expanded and several new ones added. Intended primarily as a reference for the practicing engineer, a wide range of subject matter is brought within the scope of a single (weighty) volume. The organizational format includes general principles (Chapters 1-9); materials (Chapters 10-15); power generation (Chapters 16-21); transmission and distribution (Chapters 22-29); power systems (Chapters 30-33); electricity utilization (Chapters 34-53), all covering power control and conversion, materials treatment, environmental aspects, transportation, industrial applications, education, standards, health and safety, and engineering economics. Some chapters conclude with references to mostly British journals and publications, but many are outdated carryovers from previous editions. Despite this last shortcoming, this most impressive work is highly recommended as a useful addition to college libraries serving advanced undergraduates and graduate researchers as well as professional libraries serving practicing engineers.
