Books By John S. (Virginia Tech University, Blacksburg, USA) Cundiff, Michael F. (University of Nebraska, Lincoln, USA) Kocher - Author

John S. Cundiff received his PhD in Biological and Agricultural Engineering from North Carolina State University in 1972. His academic career began at the University of Georgia where his early research was on tobacco transplant mechanization, thus beginning his interest in the use of hydraulics on mobile machines. He joined the faculty at Virginia Tech in 1980 and in 1987 began teaching an undergraduate engineering course, "Fluid Power Systems and Circuits". The 1st edition of this textbook, published in 2002, evolved out of 15 years teaching this course. Dr. Cundiff retired in 2010, thus concluding a 38-year academic career. His early retirement years were spent finishing two research projects. In 2016, after obtaining an agreement from Dr. Mike Kocher to be co-author (and thus do most of the work), he undertook this 2nd edition project. Dr. Cundiff is married to Karen, and together they have four children, two from her first marriage and two from his. Together, they have seven grandchildren. Michael F.
