Schaum's Outline Of Statics and Mechanics of Materials

Rating:
Summary: Mediocraty at it's finest
Review: The book isn't overall bad, but the explanations assume a strong comprehension of the subject. As for statics and mechanics, it is merely a few select cases, and fails to actually help. Several vital steps are omitted outright, so you'd be better off skipping this book, and searching for a question and answer bank.
