Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Based on a course at the Open University, England, this text focuses on how materials are processed into different shapes, how the particular process for making a product involves considerations of product shape and materials, and the importance of non-technical aspects of manufacturing, such as marketing, on how products are made. It includes detailed process information in the form of a deck of "datacards" for reference and comparison of processes. Annotation(c) 2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
