Review of this edition:

"Complete with its extensive appendices, glossaries and data tables, it is an invaluable reference guide for experienced practitioners and yet coupled with the clear, jargon-free introduction and explanations is an ideal textbook for the apprentice. In all, a true textbook well worth a space on the bookshelf."
