"The usual formulation is strength-to-weight ratio, but Rees (engineering and design, Brunel U.) points out that the goal is to reduce weight without reducing strength, not vice versa, so a better expression would be the weight-to-strength ratio, and that is what he explores." (Book News, December 2009)
