Plastic Product Design book

I have started to read this book since last friday which is written by Ronald D.Beck. I borrowed it from LONDONmet`s library.I think this book can be useful for students in all field of engineering and also for qualified engineers who require a simple introduction to the subject.this book includes information on plastic materials and the process by which the raw materials are converted into finished products.I am giong to put some of good vocabularies with their definitions on my blog which I will learn from this book.I hope all of them be useful for every body.
