First published in 1995, The Engineering Handbook quickly became the definitive engineering reference. Although it remains a bestseller, the many advances realized in traditional engineering fields along with the emergence and rapid growth of fields such as biomedical engineering, computer engineering, and nanotechnology mean that the time has come to bring this standard-setting reference up to date.
Saying I've read this book is a bit off because it's not a page-turner, it's a reference book. However, it does have some interesting chapters that I have read. If you are looking for a reference book, you might see if there is something more recent.
