3.0 out of 5 stars Decent book, with problematic problems, Oct 12 2009
This review is from: Machine Design: An Integrated Approach (Hardcover)
The text itself is not too bad in explaining concepts. The issue with this book lies in its end-of-chapter problems. After completing a select number of problems from chapters 2 and 3, I have already run into several issues, including problems which require knowledge from later in the text, problems where not enough information is provided to complete the question, and ones where complex models are described without an image for explanation or visualization.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Resource for the PE EXAM, Oct 28 2003
By 
Nadeem Siddiqi (Houston, Texas United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Machine Design: An Integrated Approach (Hardcover)
Norton is an awesome resource. For students going to college it may seem overwhelming. But it is the MOST up to date text on the market on the subject of Machine Design. While taking the PE exam I compared Shigley vs Norton on information, and Norton had all the answers. The author has done a monumental job in bringing the vast spectrum of Machine Design in a very well composed book. I have yet to come across a resource like Norton. In fact, I recommend this book to practicing engineers. Almost every section of the book has real world value. Its worth having on the shelf. I was always into Shigley but Norton is more in line with industry practice as opposed to academic excercises as presented by Shigley.

3.0 out of 5 stars Why buy this when you can buy Shigley?, April 23 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Machine Design: An Integrated Approach (Paperback)
This text would be OK if there were no other sources on the subject of mechanical design. However, there are! There is a reason that Shigley wrote a professional standard and Norton did not. It has all the details but there are proof-reading and similar errors.
