Product Description:
While covering the basic principles of mechanics in an example-driven format, this innovative book emphasizes critical thinking by presenting the reader with engineering situations. Compelling photorealistic art, and a robust photograph program helps readers to connect visually to the topics discussed. Features strong coverage of FBDs and important ABET topics. For professionals in mechanical, civil, aeronautical, or engineering mechanics fields.

The book was in the condition described. The only minor complaint is that somehow the shipping zip code was written wrong so it took longer to arrive, but other than that good service.

After some confusion thanks to an unsent email on the part of Amazon I finally got my book which is in good condition. Now I can start studying for my midterm tomorrow.

Overall this book is not horrible, but it's not great by any stretch of imagination. Some of the chapters are well explained, but there are also a couple of chapters, such as chapter 18, that are very unclear. There are too few examples in each chapter, and they usually fail to underscore most of the theory stated earlier, some even skip the steps that are being taught in the same chapter! Needless to say, this makes understanding the material frustrating at times. There are probably much better dynamics textbooks around.

I have taught dynamics at the university level, and I have used several different texts. This text is clear and well-written, but oversimplified, even for a one-semester undergraduate course. The problem selection is weak.
