The product is in good condition and is exactly what I expected it to be. Unfortunately, it took longer than expected to arrive but I was very happy when I did receive it.

Format:Hardcover
If you need an engineering introduction into generators, motors, transformers, and the likes this book is good. The illustrations not only show simplistic diagrams but actual machines one will find in the job. Has solved examples and end of chapter questions. Covers a lot of ground but delivers the concepts well.

lousy text

terrible textbook
I took this course from the university that the author taught at. the book was this textbook. the pedagogy was terrible, some units such as (At/m) were not properly defined, the commentary was minimal except where it was copied from other books. it seems that the auther cannot be bothered to give a thorough explanation of the the basic concepts, and would only add in text as an afterthought. as a practicing professional in the field and as someone who has taught university level courses, I would say, find another textbook

This is not a very good book to learn from. While it does have some useful example problems, the explanations are not very elucidating and the chapter problems often expect you to make assumptions that I don't think it's natural to make.
For example, in solving problem 4.9, you need to flip back 45 pages to Example 4.3 and use a chart for the machine described there. However, problem 4.9 never indicates that its machine shares these characteristics, or that you ought to assume they are the same. There have been a few other times when our professor has forewarned us that the wording in the homework problems is inexact, does not give us all the information we need, or gives us erroneous information.
I would not recommend this book to someone trying to study electric machines, especially if you're trying to learn it on your own.
