Praise for Web Handling Handbook:
Between them, the authors have been on countless machines solving countless problems around the world. They have learned that it’s not enough to have the technical answers (which they have); they must also find ways to convey their science to everyone from machine operators to senior managers. Each of them has had to become an expert teacher. The book is a surprisingly easy read not because the content is trivial, but because the authors have worked out how to convey deep ideas using clear language linked to insightful graphics.
- Dr. Steven Abbott, FRSC, Director, Steven Abbott TCNF Ltd., Visiting Professor, Univ. of Leeds
