This textbook is a vector treatment of the principles of mechanics, written primarily for advanced undergraduate and first-year graduate students of engineering. In Volume 1: Kinematics, the groundwork is laid for students to master the free body formulation of the dynamics problem, covered in Volume 2: Dynamics. Accompanied by numerous illustrations, as well as examples of applications, the two books are excellent teaching tools for one- or two-semester courses on the topic.

From the reviews:
"The book is the second of two volumes on principles of engineering mechanics. . The book can serve as a basis for a course and a self-study for advanced undergraduate or first-year graduate students, specializing in mechanics, engineering science, engineering physics, applied mathematics, material science, mechanical, aerospace and civil engineering. . Interesting historical remarks are scattered throughout the text, and extensive lists of references with short annotations follow each chapter." (Boris Ivanovich Konosevich, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1113 (15), 2007)
