«'This book is aimed at students who are starting courses in engineering … the authors approach is somewhat novel, with an emphasis on the social implications of engineering. This is one of the great strengths of this book, which should have considerable appeal to a wide audience. The style throughout the book is clear and readable, and the book provides a very accessible introduction to a number of areas in engineering and physical science.' Paul C.

«'This book is aimed at students who are starting courses in engineering. At the outset, the author states that his approach is somewhat novel, with an emphasis on the social implications of engineering. This is one of the great strengths of this book, which should have considerable appeal to a wide audience. The style throughout the book is clear and readable, and the book provides a very accessible introduction to a number of areas in engineering and physical science … The problems included are based mainly on real situations, and answers for each are given; many are sufficiently general as to be useful in provoking further discussion.'
