Customer Reviews

happy I purchased it.

Ordered this book for a class and got it in enough time to stay on track. Was a little shocked to see that such a little book cost so much but if you need it you need it. So far I also like the book. One of the few I am excited about keeping after finishing the class.

Top in the Class

I ordered this for a class. A number of other students ordered this book from other vendors; however, I was the only one who recieved the correct book as promised.

Sets an Excellent Standard

I have three standard textbooks on electric machines, and the best one by far is Stephen Chapman's Electric Machinery Fundamentals (fourth edition). Chapman has the rare ability to strike a golden balance between theory and practice, and between rigour and informality, such that the theoretical actually illuminates the practical. His discussion on power transformers is the best I have seen anywhere, and he maintains that same high quality throughout the book. Along the way, he has even managed to correct a subtle misconception that I had held for several years concerning Lenz's law. The print quality is superb and the diagrams are sharp and clear. I would like to answer a comment that another reviewer had against this book, namely, that this book uses log or semilog scales. I think we should be grateful that Mr. Chapman had the good judgment to use log or semilog scales, or else we are going to have a book that is hundreds of miles long and wide!
