Review: Selected Nuclear Materials And Engineering Systems (Landolt Börnstein: Numerical Data And Functional Relationships In Science And Technology)

Selected Nuclear Materials And Engineering Systems (Landolt Börnstein: Numerical Data And Functional Relationships In Science And Technology) by Materials Science International Team MSIT


My rating: 2 of 5 stars


This series is really running out of steam. After so many pages, you’d expect that we’d have gotten to the good explosions by now, but mostly this is just a lot of exposition.


I also find these selected nuclear materials and engineering systems a little two dimensional.


And where are the strong female characters?!


Overall, a bit sexist and tedious.


Wouldn’t recommend reading this on the Kindle, as some of the charts are a bit illegible, and as such I don’t know if it was worth the $6K.


Update: Looks like I spoke too soon. Apparently, this is no longer available on the Kindle. I’ve clicked the button to notify the publisher, as the hardcover version probably would be difficult to manage on a crowded subway.
