It is unique in providing the fundamental reliability physics and step-by-step procedures to move readers from a theoretical understanding to practical applications.

Practical appendices at the end of each part provide very basic experimental procedures for engineers who are conducting reliability experiments for the first time.  This "cookbook" approach includes experiment design, performing the stressing in the laboratory, data analysis, reliability projections, and interpreting the meaning of the projections.

A separate question and answer manual accompanies the book.
