Synopses & Reviews
This clear, practical text effectively integrates analogies of hydraulics and electro-technology, serving as a launching pad to higher levels of electronics, hydraulics or other engineering disciplines. Johnson's unique no-nonsense approach introduces theoretical concepts on a strict as-needed basis and uses dimensional, rather than formulaic, calculations.
