Product Description
Available January 2005 For the past forty years Beer and Johnston have been the uncontested leaders in the teaching of undergraduate engineering mechanics. Their careful presentation of content, unmatched levels of accuracy, and attention to detail have made their texts the standard for excellence. The revision of their classic Mechanics of Materials features an updated art and photo program as well as numerous new and revised homework problems. The text's superior Online Learning Center (www.mhhe.com/beermom4e) includes an extensive Self-paced, Mechanics, Algorithmic, Review and Tutorial (S.M.A.R.T.), created by George Staab and Brooks Breeden of The Ohio State University, that provides students with additional help on key concepts. The custom website also features animations for each chapter, lecture powerpoints, and other online resources for both instructors and students.

 Don't waste your money... June 20, 2008

Don't waste your money purchasing the PDF files here, as they are likely from someone who downloaded them for free as a torrent.
 Good book for coursework March 22, 2008
I use this book as a class textbook for a Strength of Materials course I teach. It is a good book, although I would like more in-depth examples worked for students to use.
Good Book, But Be Warned of the Units February 7, 2008
This is a good engineering textbook, but this particular edition uses only SI(Metric) Units. The hardcover edition uses both English and Metric units. It was a little bit of a surprise to find out this difference. I actually prefer the SI Units, but if you are taking this course in the United States, you will notice the difference.
 Continues the tradition of needless and overpriced revisions. July 6, 2007

The last new substantial advance in basic mechanics of materials (the concept of shear center) was 80 or so years ago. Buy this new overpriced edition of the textbook only if required to for school. Den Hartog's "Strength of Materials" or an earlier version of Beer & Johnson or Popov will save you money without sacrificing any content.

This book was required for my Mechanics of Materials course in my major of Mechanical Engineering. The readings and examples are pretty straight forward and easy to understand. SuperSaving shipping rocks!
