Details: Good book the class is going well. Amazon was a terrible retailer. They totally screwed me. I paid for overnight shipping and they lost my book in a warehouse in NV. I was forced to purchase the book from another retailer, so I did not miss too much homework. Furthermore their customer service personnel could barely speak English, and at times were rude. I will definitely use Amazon in the future only as a LAST RESULT.

Details: Never received my order. I waited 3 weeks and then I found out that it was sent to the wrong address. They did send a refund for the order. They should have notified me sooner when they realized the mistake.
Review Summary: Vector Mechanics for Engineers
Date: 2008-09-24
Details: I don't care very much for this textbook because of how confusing some of the problems are due to misleading figures. The book itself has been around for over fifty years and they still haven't worked out all the bugs... what kind of message is that conveying from the publishers? A bad one...
Review Summary: Superb
Date: 2008-05-28
Details: This book is great for self learning!, most of the theorems are explained in a very good way (a little too good and normally a little to hard to understand the first time) the examples are clear and the exercises are neither easy nor difficult (well some of them are difficult, but not all of them).
I already had 2 teachers that told me they learned from this book... it's true that almost all the material is the same, but nevertheless it's a great book to get yourself started in Statics... way better than Hibbeler.
The contents of this book are worth every penny, it's almost like having a private tutor.
And remember it's engineering you'll have to do some WORK to master all the subjects.
Review Summary: Necessary book for class
Date: 2007-09-13
