✦ Synopsis

Newnes Engineering Science Pocket Book is a uniquely versatile and practical tool for a wide range of engineers and students. All the fundamentals of electrical and mechanical engineering science and physics are covered, with an emphasis on concise descriptions, key methods, clear diagrams, formulae and how to use them. John Bird's presentations of this core material puts all the answers at your fingertips.

The contents of this book have been carefully matched to the latest Further and Higher Education syllabuses so that it can also be used as a revision guide or a quick-access source of underpinning knowledge. Students on competence-based courses such as NVQs will find this approach particularly refreshing and practical.

This book and its companion title, Newnes Engineering Mathematics Pocket Book, provide the underpinning knowledge for the whole range of engineering communities catered for by the Newnes Pocket Book series. These related titles include:
