From the preface to the first edition (1961): "Measurement and the correct interpretation thereof are necessary parts of any engineering research and development program....It is the primary purpose of this book to supply a basis for such measurements." For the present edition a new co-author, John H. Lienhard, has been added, and more than half the chapters have been substantially revised. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
