Literature: An Introduction to Reading and Writing, Seventh Edition

Approaching reliability from the standpoint of substance rather than advanced probability theory and higher mathematics, this book separates the hows from the whys at a level that is relevant to those with only limited technical training as well as those seeking a more analytical framework. Its three-fold presentation (1) describes how reliability is defined and specified; (2) addresses methods of designing reliability; and (3) covers techniques for proving and improving the reliability of a system.
