Tribology - Lubrication, Friction and Wear is comprehensive and authoritative. It brings together information that is unavailable elsewhere. Much of the information is in a form directly useable by engineers involved with design and troubleshooting on tribological devices. The information is very practical in nature and directly useful to all engineering designers and tribologists.
