Fundamentals of Aerospace Engineering: (Beginner's Guide)

Excellent book!! It explains what you need to know in a simple way.

My daughter loves the book

This is a pretty basic book useful for the non-technical curious, written by someone who does not seem to be a specialist in the area. It is too basic for engineering students and contains some explanations which are dangerous for the engineering student for being oversimplified. I already found some errors such as confusing density (rho) with pressure (p) and showing some images that are not physically accurate. The frontpage already hints at it: a spaceship with what seems to be a gas turbine, which would not work in the vacuum of space...But it might be useful for the non-technical curious, just not engineering study.

Good but very rudimentary, I expected more physics and mathematics (even basic level).

The book is short but provides with a wide range of entry level knowledge related to aerospace engineering. It covers topics ranging from propulsion, satellite components, launchers, satellite orientation & control and spacecrafts telecommunication. It also has a chapter on career in aerospace, very useful for students, by the way.On top of that, the foreword of the book was written by a NASA astronaut.I really recommend it.
