The 750 pages of the book (in 3 volumes) cover essentially all conceivable aspects of pumps Ð hydraulics, bearings, lubrication, mechanical seals and packings, cavitation, materials of construction, alignment, vibrations, energy, and efficiency improvement methods, reliability concerns, and solutions, repairs and upgrades, culminating with a ÒMacGyver SpecialsÓ section reflecting on the real-life balance between the theoretical approach to solutions and a practical Òjust-fix-it-nowÓ attitude.

The book will be a great asset to both young engineers starting their career in the industry, as well as to the old-timers who will find many practical cases described in the book familiar and reflective of their own experiences. Maintenance and operating personnel of the water and wastewater plants, power stations, paper mills, chemical plants, and other industries, will find advice and suggestions on how to handle various problems they encounter with pumps in their daily work. The book should be a valuable addition to anyoneÕs collection, to add some sense, humor, to relate their own life experiences, and to take difficulties and problems with a sense of patience, wisdom, keeping in mind that ÒvanityÉ all is vanityÓ.

Enjoy!
