Product Description
For the past fifty 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 Eighth Edition of Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Statics and Dynamics marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Beer/Johnston series. Continuing in the spirit of its successful previous editions, the Eighth Edition provides conceptually accurate and thorough coverage together with a significant addition of new problems, including biomechanics problems, and the most extensive media resources available.

This review is from: Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Statics and Dynamics (Paperback)
I must agree about the fact that in the book there is not much transition form basic physics that 14-15 year olds would do in school to more advanced concepts of mechanics. Another point is that edition after edition they haven't changed a word. For example in the chapter on friction I believe they should have changed their comments on the nature of frictional forces since their edition in 1977 to now as there has been a whole branch (Tribology) of science researching the area. But they haven't.

However, this is still one of the best books (the best)I have seen if you want to learn mechanics on your own. The main idea behind this textbook, in my opinion, has been to give solid foundations on which to build your solving techniques on. So it is not straight forward to learn from this book since you will get confused easily as you need to learn how to choose what to apply. For that reason, this book is perfect for those who want to truly understand mechanics and not just solve problems. Moreover, you need the very basics of differential and vector calculus, scalar and vector products, vector geometry, calculus and maybe double integrals if you want to calculate first and second moments in the plane using double integration. Like one of the other reviewers comments, well illustrated and wonderfully explained.
