***Book is published and available as of 6/03!!!

For the past forty years Beer and Johnston have been the uncontested leaders in the teaching of undergraduate engineering mechanics. Over the years their textbooks have introduced significant theoretical and pedagogical innovations in statics, dynamics, and mechanics of materials education. At the same time, their careful presentation of content, unmatched levels of accuracy, and attention to detail have made their texts the standard for excellence. The new Seventh Edition of Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Statics continues this tradition.

By A Customer

2.0 out of 5 stars Need a solutions manual, September 9, 2004
This review is from: Vector Mechanics for Engineers, Statics (Hardcover)
I had a hard time following the concepts presented in this book. I agree with the previous reviewer that the example problems were particularly easy, followed by only medium-hard to hard problems in the excercise section. If the text had a solutions manual (not hard to to since there are 100's of problems in each section) it would be easier to see where I'm making my mistakes.

Other than that, the pictures did help with my understanding of the material.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good text for college level Statics, April 30, 2005
By 
D. Kinslow (Bellevue, WA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Vector Mechanics for Engineers, Statics (Hardcover)
I used this book for my college Statics class, and it has been one of my favorite texts so far. The derivations of all the equations are very clear. Many real world examples/applications are also included, which helps spice up an otherwise dry subject matter. Also, the example problems correspond well to the homework problems, allowing you to work backwards if you are stuck. I've seen lots of complaints about the lack of a solutions manual, but personally, I felt it was uneccesary.
