However; the book should have included calculations as well; which it completely lacks; thus the four stars instead of a perfect score.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Another great book from Mr. ChingBy Carlos AlmeidaAs usual; Mr. Ching has delighted us with another great book. Drawings are fabulous and the text a complement to fully understand the topics. I have bought Mr. Chings books since the late 1980s and never got disappointed.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Four StarsBy liuxx866for school :)
