Theory of Machines and Mechanisms, John J. Uicker, 4th edition

This book will be very useful to prepare my classes in the undergraduate program about Mechanisms that I am the teacher. Another book very important in this area isMechanisms and Dynamics of Machinery

A classic which a passionate Mechanical Engineer should have

This was my textbook in my undergrad and which I cherish having around me. Gives a comprehensive treatment of kinematics uptill the level demanded for a practising mechanical engineer.
