"[This book] takes a practical applications approach to the subject and presents valuable design information for practicing mechanical and electrical engineers. … The authors of this book have many years of research and practical experience. One unusual and interesting aspect of the book's development is that it comes through the cooperation of the different approaches to the subject from the West and the East. They have succeeded in making the bulk of research and engineering data equally clear for all the segments of the international audience."
