Customer Reviews

great book, great price, fast shipping

As the title says. I found a very good deal. The shipping was fast. I got it here in Canada within a week, and the cost with shipping and handling was cheaper than the Canadian local price. I'm impressed.

Finally a book that explains with words!

I don't understand what the other reviewers are talking about, I find this book a lifesaver for my Deformable Solids course, because the authors take the time to explain the formulas they put in the book with real words. I appreciate that the formulas are in the text and not coldly thrown at you in a scary cluster, making the concepts much easier to understand thoroughly. I found the information easy to find and I think the examples are great, with detailed and explained solutions. Finally a book that cares about "how" and "why" instead of just "what".

Good but not perfect

First few chapters are well treated but advanced topics are not covered in detail.For example, beams on elastic foundation chapter is not covered extensively.To conclude,anyone interested in advanced mechanics of materials should own it.
