Mechanical Engineering Systems by Richard Gentle, Peter Edwards, W. Bolton. The authors of Mechanical Engineering Systems have taken an efficient approach to this book, bringing the subject to life through a lively text supported by numerous activities and case studies. The reason why this book will appeal to such a broad audience is that they present the core subject areas for engineering studies in a lively, student-centered way, with crucial theory delivered in real-world contexts, and a pedagogical structure that supports independent learning and classroom use.
