"""I enjoyed reading the book and getting deeper in your mindset for failure analysis. In addition to the mindset and technical parts, there is one huge contribution of this book for us, non-native English speakers... and that is engineering vocabulary. You have explained all the main terms widely enough to understand the background of the word. We all know that terminology between languages is not possible to exchange one-to-one with a direct translation. In my role working part-time at the local university as a researcher and teacher, I will always highly recommend this book to my students, to gain the proper language skills and mindset for their future in materials engineering. Finally, let me congratulate you for capturing your lifetime of knowledge for this book. Thank you very much for including me as part of the review process."" - Libor Trsko, PhD, Research Centre of the University of Zilina & Materials Engineer at Danfoss Power Solutions ""My compliments for the seventh chapter: it covers a lot of crucial topics in real world Failure Analysis, through a series of Case Histories. I should mention that the style of the presentation transmits a vivid and very spontaneous spirit which is found in classical novels and literature. It is certainly not usual in technical books and that makes this contribution truly original and innovative."" - Dr. George Pantazopoulos, Technology and Quality Manager, ELKEME, Hellenic Research Centre for Metals S.A. ""[Constructing Your Competence in Failure Analysis] it seems extraordinary to me that you have combined human factors such as reasoning and thought that I have not seen addressed in any other book with technical-analytical content. I applaud this. You are an extraordinary engineer and... are incomparable."" - Jose Medina"
