Reviews
"If you need a Thermo book to teach yourself, get a different one."
"Wish the book would focus more on the application of thermodynamic principles."
"The front of the book tables are missing when compared to an intro to thermo book but it is overall solid."
"SVNA was a great book and provided a good introduction to thermodynamics."
"I used this book for my first thermodynamics class in my chemical engineering major and the book is very understandable and clearly written."
"Terrible book at explaining the basics."
"I recieved the book with loose bonds."
"This book is terribly dry."

Reviews
"Great reference book, I've been using for a few classes in ChE."
"I like it that it provides comparison tables for equipment allowing an engineer to identify which unit operation works best for a given material or operating conditions. There has been some re-shuffling of sections and the number of pages have grown substantially to cover such new topics as security and inherently safe design in Process Safety and solids handling."
"Best reference book I've purchased."
"great reference for everything, just wish the print (hardcopy) can be larger for my old eyes."
"I have paper strips coming out the book.. the paper is also very delicate and thin."
"It's a big book and is a gift for a graduate and came highly recommended."
"My granddaughter is just thrilled with this gift as she is going to become a chemical engineer and said having all of this basic information together in one volume would be extremely helpful to her."
"This edition also seems to lack matching page references to the print edition, which makes it worth even less as it cannot be as efficiently used to follow references from other texts."

"This book covers every major topic that I studied in my undergraduate chemical engineering curriculum and does a very good job of organizing each topic neatly."
"You could easily lose points without what a variable stands for even if you have seen the equation in practice several times."
"This FE chemical review is a used book but looks new."
"Although helpful, this revision has a lot of type-o's."

Civil Engineering Reference Manual for the PE Exam, 15th Ed
This prep course provides expert instruction, a structured syllabus, PPI's #1 selling review materials, and convenient online viewing from the comfort of home or on the go. The extensive index contains thousands of entries, with multiple entries included for each topic, so you can find the topics referenced no matter how you search. Civil Breadth: Project Planning; Means and Methods; Soil Mechanics; Structural Mechanics; Hydraulics and Hydrology; Geometrics; Materials; Site Development Construction: Earthwork Construction and Layout; Estimating Quantities and Costs; Construction Operations and Methods; Scheduling; Material Quality Control and Production; Temporary Structures; Health and Safety. If you are preparing for the PE exam in civil engineering, the following suggestions may help. Newer editions mean that the codes, standards, and regulations on which the exam is based are not represented in the older edition,that the exam body of knowledge has changed, and/or the exam format and policies have changed. This means knowing the order of the chapters, the approximate locations of important figures and tables, what appendices are available, and so on.

"That said, as far as I can tell this is pretty much the only comprehensive reference available for the exam so rather than talk more about the CERM itself I wanted to break down some things that helped me use the manual to study and pass the PE exam the first time: 1) Download and print out a copy of the index for the CERM from the PPI website, bind it separately, and use that to look stuff up while studying and taking the exam to avoid constantly flipping around in the manual between the index and the chapters. I left all my tabs and flags in the CERM after finding out I passed since it makes the book look real salty and reminds me of the pain I went through studying and taking the exam. The PM exam was the similar but about 25% of the questions couldn't be answered out of the CERM and needed an outside reference (master's level stuff in my opinion and I don't have an MSCE so I just did what I could and guessed the rest). I know this sounds obvious but I first attempted studying with stacks of textbooks from engineering school in addition to my CERM and quickly realized it would never work. The CERM and a few other things were enough to get me through the WR exam and I am neither a water resources engineer by practice nor the kid from Good Will Hunting. It helped me get into the mode of studying a lot (I kept records and including 56 hours of class I spent about 250 hours preparing for the exam over about 3.5 months, did nothing the two weeks before the test due to burnout and a work trip during which I was not going to study in the hotel at night), helped me realize I wasn't the only one fighting my way through the pain and misery, and helped me learn enough to get by in areas that I had little to no college coursework on (e.g. transpo, econ, etc)."
"I didn't study with the CERM but I used it as a back-up reference."
"Absolutely a must if you are taking the Professional Engineering Examinations."
"Used the book along with a review course and passed the test the first time."
"The index is top notch; with a few key words you can find information or formulas to solve almost any problem."
"I highly recommend this book for the exam and as a general reference for other engineers like myself."
"a good reference book for civil engineering practice."

Reviews
"I've spent quite a bit of time today looking at various pages, and while distracting, the text from following pages doesn't completely overwhelm what you are trying to read. I had read that the pages were thinner in the last few editions making it more difficult to read, but I decided to buy it anyway. You can see the back of the page clearly, the front and back of the next page, and sometimes even the next page! This book is vastly more difficult to read than the 24th edition I have, and despite having some additional information I would like to have at my fingertips and the larger type, I just can't keep this book. What good is having super thin and super delicate pages on a book that you will use the most?"
"I am older and now wear trifocals so this big print edition was real find."
"I'm young and good eyesight so I can read it fairly easy but I still find it annoying."
"The increased cost is worth it."
"I really like the larger format of the book."
"received and it is just as expected."
"One would think after the fiasco with thin pages in the previous version, Industrial Prints would have figured not to use the same thin paper in their latest 30th edition of the book..."
"If you are a machinist or hobby machinist this book contains a lot of material you will never use."
