520 _a"Unlike most texts in the field, this book relates design closely to the science and mathematics that are students' chief concern, and shows their relevance. It shows how to make simple but illuminating calculations such as mark the work of great engineers, and how to achieve insight and the invention that often springs from it. It covers design principles thoroughly: these are a great practical aid to designers but receive only limited mention elsewhere. It is, and remains, an original book. Though some of the ideas in it which were novel in 1971 are now widely accepted, others remain new." "Directed mainly at mechanical engineers, this book will interest civils also. Most of the engineering science is at first year level, but there are parts even final year students will find hard. It is a book they are likely to find a source of useful ideas throughout their careers as practicing engineers."-
