“This work presents in a very thorough and practical manner the method of the design and construction of hydro-electric power plants, taking up in detail, in the order in which they are met by the practical engineer, most of those points which must be considered in designing or constructing a complete waterpower development. The purpose of the work seems to be to give to the designing engineer, in as short and as concise manner as possible the method in which the various problems are attacked, including under each topic most of the data and tables which he is required to use in connection therewith.”—Engin. N.
“Altogether the book will be found to contain much of value to the student and to teachers and will be a valuable addition to the engineer’s reference library.” A. W. M.
