    Review by A. Bedford for Mechanics of Materials (8th Edition)

    I am an author of this book, so I cannot review it. But I want to point out that the review by “mr303″ cannot have been written about this book, because the book will be used in the classroom for the first time this spring, so the reviewer cannot have taken a course using it. Furthermore, the identical review by the same reviewer appears with the listings of other books having the same title, so it’s clear there’s just been a mixup. Also, the listing of this book gives the wrong publisher; it is published by Prentice Hall.

    Simple, concise, great examples, great illustrations, great problems. The style is: present a topic briefly, derive equation(s) quickly, show 3-4 examples of using said equation(s), give a couple dozen problems, and move right on to the next topic. Thanks Mr. Hibbeler, for making engineering students’ lives just a bit easier.

    Having read and used several books in this area, my favorite one is this book. While studying for my PE last year in Mechanical Engineering, I tried to use Gere and Timoshenko, but found it to be difficult to read. I was familiar with R.C. Hibbeler’s Engineering Mechanics books, and liked his writing style and resulting “ease of presenting technical engineering topics in a readable format with many examples and practical problems.” So I got a copy of this book and found it to be very well organized, very readable, very good figures and illustrations, and very practical and useful. So I would highly recommend this book to all, along with R.C. Hibbeler’s other books.

    Hibbeler is probably the most reliable author when it comes to Mechanics of Materials. A must have for Mechancial, Environmental, Civil and Materials Engineers. Explains everything in the easiest and most practical matter, without skipping anything of value.

    This is a good book on a very difficult subject. It was the text book for one of my harder engineering classes. The book does a pretty decent job of explaining theroies, and the worked example problems are done pretty good. My only complaint is that the worked examples are quite easy compared to the homework problems. Homework problems require lots of time, thinking, and MORE time. Overall i thought the material was pretty interesting. Good Luck
