It touches upon the medical side of certain applications and provides many everyday examples for practical use.. Ramona Wright said Great Ergo Engineering book. This book was a must-have for one of my engineering classes and the book was extremely expensive through my school's website. I was able to find this book from Amazon, at a cheaper price and brand new, as well as received my book a Great Ergo Engineering book This book was a must-have for one of my engineering classes and the book was extremely expensive through my school's website.
