Marks' Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers 11th Edition

Marks' Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers 11th Edition by Eugene Avallone and Theodore Baumeister shows how toolve any mechanical engineering problem quickly and easily with the world's leading engineering handbook

Nearly 1800 pages of mechanical engineering facts, figures, standards, and practices, 2000 illustrations, and 900 tables clarifying important mathematical and engineering principle, and the collective wisdom of 160 experts help you answer any analytical, design, and application question you will ever have.

It has given generations of engineers quick access to essential information on topics ranging from mathematics, mechanics of solids and fluids, heat, fuels and furnaces, and machine elements...to power generation, materials handling, transportation, manufacturing processes, and much more. Now updated and expanded for today's engineering environment, the Eleventh Edition of this world-renowned resource contains new coverage of high-tech areas, including nanotechnology, electronics, and biotechnology.

Marks' is legend among reference handbooks for engineering and for good reason, the book combines excellent commentary from industry and academic experts with plenty of formulas, tables and diagrams. It lists the references for each section right at the beginning along with the authors which is convenient if you want to dig deeper into the knowledge area.

Mechanical Engineering is a very wide area and while you study many topics in school, unless you actively use them professionally your knowledge gets fuzzy. For this reason having a handbook like this one is a great way to refresh your memory or learn about topics you haven't spent much time with before going on to more specific books on the topic. I still find it amazing how much information is squeezed into each section and readers will see that the knowledge density is staggering.
