Rezensionen

From the reviews:

"This work contains 16 biographies focusing on the important works, concepts, and inventions of well-known figures in mechanism and machines science. ... the entries contains analyses of the individuals' major works and a modern interpretation that connects current research and applications with their seminal works. The unique perspective and contribution of this volume is its substantial analyses of the works of the biographees, written by practicing scientists and engineers. ... Upper-division undergraduates through faculty." (M. Fosmire, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (6), February, 2008)
