This book contains some important but not sufficiently well known concepts. Like a regular momentum balance applies relative to any point, not just arcane list of Point. Also there is little Mechanics here that cannot found in other books, including freshman physics text, other engineering texts, and hundred of classics. There are many statics dynamics textbook which cover about the same material as this one but this textbook has modern applications, ample samples, lots of pictures, and lots of homework problems. Through this book, students will come to see not mechanics as a coherent network of basic ideas rather than a collection of Ad-hoc recipes and tricks that one need memorized or Hope to discover by divine inspiration. This book has a big part in the field of engineering.
