The poems in this issue sneak up and bite you on the back of the neck! Nourishment for the neurons without the saturated glop found in most university anthologies. Hats off to you, West Wind!

Why can't all reviews and anthologies have the same quality of writing as West Wind Review? I am NEVER disappointed in the work that comes out of this anthology. I think this one will be a collector's edition because some of the writers are headed for Pulitzer Prizes.

I was blown away by the quality of this book. Generally I am disappointed by university presses but the West Wind Review is certainly an exception to that rule.

This book was assigned to me as part of a college mechanical engineering course. This book was hard to follow and strayed from the course description. It contains aspects of electronics and mechanical design where the math problems are not fully explained and worked out and the machine descriptions are extremely brief. It is possible to get an education out this book, but a person would really have to strain. If you buy this book, I recommend that you get a generic study guide to accompany it.

This text provides a good, basic overview of methods for measuring several physical phenomena. The treatment of most of these is average. However, thermal measurement is given an improved, more thorough coverage. Personally, I have primarily used this text as a reference and guide for Chapter 3: Assessing and Presenting Experimental Data. I have found the sections on Error and, especially, Uncertainty to be very instructive and practical for use during college and post-graduation (as a mechanical engineer in research and development).
