Review
“It is very difficult to find a text book that would compete with Hibbeler’s readability and clarity at the undergraduate level.” — Fady F. Barsoum, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University
“The large variety of illustrated homework problems are helpful for class demonstrations, group problem solving and real situation homework assignments. The inside covers are a very handy resource for both students and instructors.” — Barbara Lograsso, Michigan Technological University
“Nice formulation and presentation of equations with clear drawings and photographs.” — Marehalli Prasad, Stevens Institute of Technology --This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.

Good Textbook,

This review is from: Statics and Mechanics of Materials (2nd Edition) (Hardcover)
I bought this book about 4 months ago for my Statics class at university. The book is well organized and the concepts as well as the examples are easy to follow. I have found it to be a very good reference especially if one is learning some of the concepts mentioned in the book from scratch. There is a sufficient number of examples and problems for one to digest the material.On the downside, the book does not have the feel of a general purpose reference book and should be regarded as a textbook that is to be followed in order to learn the material inside.
