Electric Motor Handbook Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book was a huge disappointment. There is not a useful word in it for the electric motor end-user or designer needing an off-the-shelf electric motor.
If you're looking for information on electric motors, like: lubrication, bearings, seals, cooling, standard mount styles and sizes, common motor abbreviations (TEFC, TEAO, etc.), how to size and choose a motor, energy efficiency, preventative maintenance techniques, or anything that might be even remotely practical, DO NOT waste your time on this book.
McGraw-Hill Publishing would be wise to commission a new book called "Electic Motor Practical Handbook" covering the above mentioned topics. While I own many of McGraw's (usually excellent) "Handbook" series of titles, this is the first that I would rate a utter flop.

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"Building Bamboo Fences" has all the information you will need to build your own bamboo fence. Additionally, Mr. Yoshida has included a brief history of bamboo fences in Japan, a complete glossary of terms and many beautiful color photographs for inspiration. Fence diagrams range from simple see-through fences to more complex bamboo screening fences. The diagrams, techniques, and instructions for building different types of bamboo fences are clear, complete, easy to follow and even include tips on how to correct any problems you may have in construction.

Whether you are looking to build simple edgings for garden paths or a full-screen fence - this is the book to use.
