The second edition of this book is an improvement over the first edition. The illustrations are generally of good quality, and the photographs are excellent. Some of the factual errors in the first edition have been removed. However, this book still has a long way to go before it will be a valuable learning tool for students.My critique of the first edition noted poor writing quality, confusing math notation, and factual errors. This critique addresses those same three areas, listing specific problems by chapter and/or page number.[Writing quality]When I say this writing quality is poor, I refer to clumsy prose and illogical statements. The author(s) struggle to convey concepts in clear language. Instead, the reader must interpret phrases such as these:"In instrumentation, calibration must be accurate, and accuracy is a direct method of determining if an instrument must be calibrated. This form of circular reasoning is intended to show the importance of an instrument's calibration expressed in accuracy." (page 21)"Pressure is a universal processing condition because all forms of life depend on pressure for survival." (page 37)"The specific gravty of alcohol is 0.79, and if we find the equivalent water-filled tank, we can use the specific gravity value to find the specific gravity of the alcohol." (page 46)"A displacer is often called a float. A float [displacer] never floats." (page 95)"Electrical capacitance is a fundamental concept for electricians that helps to explain the level measuring form of capacitance." (page 95)"With the large number of data points being monitored today, it is possible that a faulty reading on a thermocouple may not be faulty at all.
