Electric power substations engineering.......2007-02-15
I bought this book because I found drafting job in electric company. My previous knowledge about substations was less than general, so I have to learn this stuff. This book helped me to learn everithing I need. It is detailed and easy to understad. Good thing is that author show schematicaly some segments of substation and because of that it is much easier to understand it's purpose.
Highly Recommended! Compact Yet Highly Charged with Information.......2006-08-12
This book is very concise and yet a powerhouse of very good information. This is the book to be read first to get the overall picture on power substation engineering quickly and precisely, without overwhelming yourself on the subject. I wish I had this book ten years back :)
A good book for both substation and equipment engineering.......2005-09-13
(Zhu Fang, Dr. & P.Eng., Ontario, Canada)
This book outlines the physics and logic behind the relevant IEEE standards. So it helps to understand and application of these standards in engineering work. As working on power transformer engineering, I find that this book enriches and updates my background knowledge on application of power equipments. It is ideal for electric power engineering professional and student who wishes to know more about engineering practice.
A Really Good Book!.......2003-10-31
This book is a good practical book. It helps me clearly understand some concepts and applications. It is a really good source and I use it all the time at work!
I will definitely recommend this book !

THIS ONE IS DIFFERENT AND THIS ONE IS GREAT FUN!.......2006-07-19
As another reviewer put it, this is quite different from other works by McDonald. You could almost call it a SiFi story, but it does not have that complete favor. Briefly, our hero finds himself with a watch that can slow time down to almost a complete stop. No spoiler here, so I will stop. The book is funny, a page turner and one that you will no doubt want to give a reread. I first encountered this one back in the 80s and it had been published for sometime before that. Once it is started, it is was and is quite difficult to put down. I have read other McDonald books over the years and was very surprised with this one..it was so very, very different. For a fun read, one you almost cannot help but enjoy, I recommened this one highly. This is another of those books that have sort of gotten forgotten and probably did not get the attention it should have at the time of it's publication.
Having fun with supernatural powers.......2006-06-04
This book is way away from anything else John D. MacDonald wrote except for the fun, the realism mixed in with the fantasy, and it's just plain good.
Kirby worked for his eccentric uncle giving away money and now he's been left with a handful of junk and a gold watch. People left and right from financiers to gangsters are looking for the money Uncle Omar must have hidden somewhere and Kirby is getting into more and more trouble, until he hooks up with Bonny Lee and discovers the secret of the watch. The watch, you see, stops time for everything but you and you can do anything you want until you come back and rejoin the world.
His troubles are just beginning...
I have always loved this book and even though it was written in the sixties it still hits home. Even with supernatural powers there is always the problem of how to live with the rest of the world, and the bonus of having fun while you figure it out.

Book Description
This book provides a new interpretation of the English economy between 1066 and 1086 by using methods not previously applied to Economic theory and statistical techniques to reappraise the information recorded in the Domesday book. It is the first major reinterpretation of the Domesday economy since the work of J.H. Round and F.W. Maitland almost one hundred years ago, and its publication in 1986 coincided with the 900th anniversary of Domesday.
