"I must say that this encyclopedia is a must have for everyone working on quality and reliability. It is an excellent source of information." ( Technometrics, May 2010) "[The text] could provide the initial go to text for any person researching or working within the field of quality. The production is good, with a nice layout and well bound pages ... .The journey through the pages is often interrupted by an unlikely article that catches the attention which is the delight of paper texts."
