October 27, 2003: I had this book for a class, and we found out that the book is just garbage and these are the reasons why: 1) The book didn't tell you anything new that you can't get off google.com 2) He pretty much cut and paste stuff from other books like heat transfer and electrical book, and maybe change the problems a little bit to make it his. Guess what, it's wrong because he didn't even work these problem out to make sure that it works. 3) Problems was given at the end of each chapter without any material in the chapter to support it. In order to solve these problems that was given you need your old heat transfer, electrical... books in order to solve it. Given that the problem is stated clearly or correctly. 4) I did not learn anything out of this book because the information given was incorrect. For a director of electronic packaging of a university this is a very bad book. I wouldn't recommend anyone to buy this book. Google will teach you more. Don't waste your money!
