The material contained within "The Art" is foundation information and
knowledge. In every aspect it can be considered timeless. With knowledge
obtained from "The Art" you can easily move onto the more complex and
demanding aspects of current technology. The basic text is what is
taught in most (if not all) 1st and 2nd year Uni Engineering Degree
courses... This is what ever engineer should know...

I still use the first edition, my personal copy, as a general reference
text when my memory fails me.
