Abstract
AT the time of the inclusion of the subject of engineering economics in the syllabus for the examination for the associate membership of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, there was no general text-book to which students could go for guidance in their studies. Attempts have been made to supply this need, and among the most successful must be placed this book by Mr. Burnham. Engineers who rise to the head of their profession are often more engaged in questions of administration than, in questions of design and production, and some of the matters on which they have to be informed are indicated by the chapters in this book, namely, finance, foreign exchange, joint-stock companies, insurance, organisation, industrial legislation, and research.
Engineering Economics.
By T. H. Burnham. Pp. xiii + 326. (London: Sir Isaac Pitman and Sons, Ltd., 1929.) 10s. 6d. net.
