Recommended books.....

[JOHNRR]

I am looking for recommendations of two types of books. First, I am looking for a book that is basically loaded with LOTS of tables on material properties (mechanical, chemical, thermal, etc). Second, an all-around resource book (like Marks) for mechanical engineers. Thank you very much.

For material properties try:
Handbook of Chemistry and Pyhsics,
and also the web site:

For resource book try:
Handbook of Engineering Fundamentals,
by Eshbach.
