Concise and authoritative, this book set the standard for excellence in basic mechanics texts. The major emphasis is on basic principles and problem formulation. Strong effort has been made to show both the cohesiveness of the relatively few fundamental ideas and the great variety of problems that these ideas solve. All of the problems deal with principles and procedures inherent in the design and analysis of engineering structures and mechanical systems with many of the problems referring explicitly to design considerations.

February 15, 2005: The book doesnt go into much detail in either explanation or how the problems were solved. Even having the solutions manual often leaves you more lost. I had to buy another book as a reference. IF you want a good mechanics book go get one by hibbeler

August 17, 2001: I?m a braziliam student of engineering mechanics at Universidade Estadual Paulista in Brazil and this book was adopted as major bibliography for solid mechanics. The author did a good job putting a lot of exercises in the book.
