It provides a precise and to the point review of what is required for the USMLE !

I used several prep. test books for the test and this one most closely matched the content of the exam. It covers many of the topics and it's explanations are perfectly detailed. It's a great tutor. It needs better diagrams and the version I read had an insulting degree of editing errors--the publisher informs me the edition currently for sale is corrected. Even with the errors, this was the best collections of printed tests I used. Good luck!

Difficult to follow and no solutions.... examples are few and far between.... By far the most worthless chemical engineering book I've used... only one I'm sure I'll sell at the end of the semester.... the author is incomplete... I found few discussions interesting... there's got to be better out there?!

This book could be good if a great professor was teaching with it. I had the misfortune of having another poor University of California, San Diego professor which made the book a priority to read. I found the book to be once again excessive in derivation and the problems required too much interpolation to make any good use of the tables provided. The tables were great however could not be used efficiently when solving problems, thus making homework sessions tedious rather than instructive.

I used this book as an undergrad (ME) and I loved it. Now I'm taking the grad heat transfer class, and this book has been a great help. I am currently designing a heat exchanger and without it I would have been lost! In the words of my friend in reference to this book, "I just want to shake that man's hand for writing it"
