Engineering mechanics is a hands-on course. It won't help you any good to read the textbook for 10 hours at a stretch if you don't attempt to understand the problem and solve it yourself. The best thing about this subject is that once you get the basics, you can pretty much read it on your own and understand everything. There are only three laws (thanks to Newton) and everything else is deduction. This book has lots of problems and they are very practical too. You can see most of the problems around you, like the one on a safety mechanism for a construction worker and there are many such problems. I am not in any way affiliated or related to the publishers or the authors. In summary, a great book for a TOUGH subject. (Yes it is tough because it is different from other subjects, where you can get by after cramming before an exam. E Mech. is the bread and butter of mechanical engineers, so you better understand it well)
Fabulous Book - A Bible for Mechanics July 29, 1999

I must disagree with what the other reviewers have said. This book is the best book I have ever come across for Mechanics. The approach is pictorial and problem-solving techniques are marvellously illustrated. There is an enormous amount of well-graded problems, so if you cant solve one problem on your own then you have many more to try. A Bible for Mechanics.
Thorough, step-by-step presentation of difficult subject. September 22, 1999

Statics traditionally is the make or break subject for aspiring engineer students; it is a shock to most. Dynamics is even more difficult. This text provides a detailed, careful, accurate, thorough and clear exposition of them, although the difficulties inherent in both subjects may make some students blame the text for their problems. Tain't so.
THE BEST BOOK EVER IN ENGINEERING MECHANICS August 6, 1999

Well, I'm not new to those authers. All their books represent one of the best in field, and their mechanics book is one of them. The text is well-organized, the material is presented professionaly, the problems help to understand and grasp the subject that you feel quite confident in your ability. A smart textbook. No one can recognize what he/she misses in engineering mechanics untill he/she has the opportunity to study this book.
