A good, hands-on introduction

The person I gifted this book to loves it, so my review is simply reporting the feedback of the actual reader. I gave this to a young person in high school interested in architecture, engineering, and construction management, and this book has inspired the reader to now go read about physics to better understand the material. That's impressive!The formulas and problems presented in the book make it hands-on and engaging. It's definitely more advanced than a "...for dummies" type of book, but not so advanced that a young student gets blown out of the water (provided the student has had algebra II and maybe some physics).

I am a little disappointed with this book

I am a little disappointed with this book, because I thought that it was a college textbook. I guess it still is a college textbook, but it is written as a helpful guide to the classroom textbook in helping a student understand the "engineering language" in a more layman's type of description.This is most suitable to a student that doesn't know much about engineering. If you are mechanically inclined or have studied physics in high school then perhaps you may already understand most of this terminology.

Excellent MIT update

This book is an excellent self-study guide to basic structural engineering. Understanding the material between these two covers is sufficient to pass the Professional Engineering Exam on either Civil or Mechanical Engineering. Keeps an interesting subject interesting with excellent qualitative physical descriptions of the physics at play in addition to laying out quantitative analytical techniques. A needed update from those other MIT classics of 1950: Den Hartog's "Mechanics" and "Strength of Materials".

Great CE Intro

Great little book from MIT course which makes you think about a problem. This is the first CE course and it covers a lot of area in an MIT manner. Worth the read for anyone. I got this for grandson who wants to be a CE.

Good book to re-shine and revise mechanics

Good book to re-shine and revise mechanics. I bought this book to help remember my mechanics from undergraduate classes. Worked very well for me. Highly recommended this. Arrived on time.

Engineering mechanics book

Excellent for studying and to explain to non-engineers how mechanics does affect structure construction. Very simple and bright explanations!

Gives a Good Intuitive Approach

The book is not a rigorous treatment of the subject, but it does give a good intuitive approach to the general ideas of engineering mechanics for structures. The chapter on Indeterminate Systems is particularly good. Helps if you have some background in linear algebra. The author is conversational and throws in some humor.

Good

This book is an abridged form of the lecture notes MIT OCW and is a good self-study guide to the basics of solid mechanics. It has excellent qualitative physical descriptions of the physics and keeps the subject interesting. Other two MIT classics of 1950: Den Hartog's "Mechanics" and "Strength of Materials" also require some update.
