Book Description
For the past forty years Beer and Johnston have been the uncontested leaders in the teaching of undergraduate engineering mechanics. Over the years their textbooks have introduced significant theoretical and pedagogical innovations in statics, dynamics, and mechanics of materials education. At the same time, their careful presentation of content, unmatched levels of accuracy, and attention to detail have made their texts the standard for excellence. The new Seventh Edition of Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Dynamics continues this tradition.

Run away.......2006-05-11
I found this book difficult to read and the example problems did not help with the homework problems. I went to return this book after taking Dynamics to find out that an 8th edition is being released and the book store would only offer my $7.25 for a book I paid well over $100.00. The fact that an 8th edition is being release so soon tells me that this book is flawed and being rewritten.
Disappointed.......2006-02-15
While the theory is somehow digestible, the problems are way too d

Great Book!.......2006-01-29
Easy to understand with ample well-explained examples to help follow the subject. Great book overall!
Great book.......2005-11-30
This is really a great book in a hard to grasp subject.It is easy to follow ,has a lot of excellent sample problems and examples ,student-friendly and it is ideal for selfstudy.
Ok service.......2005-10-10
Took awile to get here and they put a huge sticker on the front and back that had the website info on it. I didn't pay them so they could use my book as free advertising. That made me angry, but other than that and a few wrinkled pages, it's a good book.
A poor example of engineering mechanics textbook.......2004-06-23
I was forced into purchasing this group of books for my university engineering program as all of the homework problems required were straight from this book.
Additionally, the books were packaged with schaums problem sets that were particularly useless (schaums outlines are usually excellent, but their problem sets did not contain all of the detail and had nothing extra to offer over Beer and Johnston's textbook) and therefore a waste of my money.
With that said, the only redeeming value of this book is the sheer number of exercises and answers (numerical answers with no explanation, however).
The writing quality suffers what english majors call overuse of passive voice. Overuse of the words "is," "will," "are," etc. characterize this style. With the lack of acting verbs in sentences, the book effectively numbs the mind and puts the reader to sleep. This passive use of verbage also serves to take the emphasis off of the important parts of sentences.
Aside from stylistic issues with the english language, the book also suffers from a lack of vision. The authors did not provide a good methodology to approaching problems at all. They hint at it, by telling the student to draw pictures. However, in examples, the authors jump from one step to the next without much explanation of how a person would discover the techniques themselves. This makes the homework problems particularly difficult when a completely different approach than the one in the examples is required.
There are also derivation and explanation issues. For instance, in the handling of the precession of free bodies (this example sticks out in particular), the author provides a diagram and some equations. However, students cannot precede merely from what the author explained. The student, in order to approach the problems, must assume the validity of the vector diagrams and their relationships, along with equations, seperately. The diagrams and equations WERE NOT UNIFIED in the discussion. This gives the impression that the authors seperately wrote different parts of the book, and later simply pasted the pieces together without any greater plan.
I would not recommend these books as something colleges should use.
This book could be a lot better........2004-04-21
Not enough examples. You would have to buy another book with more examples or get a tutor.

Book Description
The 7 Motivational Greats (4CD) set consists of 4 full-length motivational classics and 3 short bonus audiobooks packaged together in a discounted, convenient, complete, and synergistic motivational set. The series focuses on the human mind and its prevalent thoughts in relation to their manifestation into circumstances (the material world) and simple, practical philosophy steps and attitudes to maximize your worth and find your financial / business success (proven successful by thousands of people for over 100 years). In addition it also develops strength and perspective in our fast paced, unnatural "civilized" world.
Together they are food for thought and explain the first steps and changes needed to find a balanced and productive life. As a Man Thinketh /2 - increases your awareness and recognition of responsibility for focusing your thoughts and accepting the results of your (mind's) life design (or lack of) and your actions. Acres of Diamonds reminds you to focus on serving people's needs and urges you to provide practical, useful service to others. The Majesty of Calmness provides perspective, aids you in challenging moments, and helps you to keep peace and faith. The bonus audiobooks are The Sayings of Confucius, When a Man Comes to Himself (by Woodrow Wilson), and The Work of Russell H. Conwell.
They are not "cheerleading" titles, but profound (yet simple and comprehensible) studies of human psychology and fundamental / common sense principles in our free and capitalistic society. They will help you to 1) see and realize the links and causes for the success, failures, pain, and happiness in life as they originate from thought and action; 2) Point out the negative and positive beliefs, traits, and habits that make people happy and successful; 3) Provide specific key points to emulate and act on to improve your happiness and success (think of a caring father, priest, sister or friend encouraging you to find your best); 4) help bring you from the "shadows" into the light; and 5) give you peace and perspective to deal serenely and calmly with almost anything that happens.
Listening to them is like planting seeds of wisdom in your psyche that slowly transform you and your life as situations and understanding occur. They provide fruits of realization, change, happiness, and success. They can help you relieve pain, fear, and know that you are free - not trapped.
Customer Reviews:
Not worth the time.......2007-01-19
I bought these cds based on other reviews and I am very disappointed with them. I will begrudingly say that there is some subject matter falls in the "OK" catagorie but most of it is tired platatude of outdated ideas. Some of the talks are so reactionary as to be offensive. This work is hardly inspiring.
Very Good I liked them all.......2005-12-20
I enjoyed them especially Acres of Diamonds. The narrator, music and especially the information are good. Some are better for some times than others. As A Man Thinketh and Majesty of Calmness are kind of soft and reflective and Acres of Diamonds and As You Think So You Are are kind of loud, energetic, and humorous.
VERY GOOD, DIFFERENT, IMAGINATIVE - but can take some getting used to.......2005-12-19
Ha, Ha, Ha some of these are very funny. I almost split my sides. I really enjoyed them. It's the first audiobook that I got a lot out of and really enjoyed it at the same time.

and what their intentions are. Did they actually listen to all 4 disks or did they make a snap judgment on one of them on style ignoring the content? Even if you hated all the narration, it's certainly intelligible and the content is superb. You can verify that yourself by looking at the reviews of the books individually. There is nothing wrong with the music (unless you dislike Classical, New Age, or Gospel because that's what they use) - it is different styles all appropriate to the subject. I had no problem with the tracks; they have a listing on the container that says exactly which track is which. You simply have to look and press the CD button to find it. The tempo varies from slow and relaxing (with slow and relaxing subjects) to very fast and exciting (with motivating subjects) what's wrong with that? They do move it along on some of the tracks and some of the tracks are also pretty modern and might be too much for very old or very conservative people.
On the other hand it had Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata also. I think it is pretty well balanced. This set has relaxation and motivation depending upon the disk you listen to. . I believe it is a 5 star even if only for content although the rest of it is actually pretty good also. If you are very conservative or old you might not like the As a Man Thinketh 2 (but it is really not that bad - but obviously set for younger people just don't listen to that disk use the others) other than that have no fear. It's a very good series. I would purchase it again without hesitation.
Don't Waste Your Money!!!!.......2005-12-13
I have worked in the entertainment business for over 20 years and this is the worst piece of work put out by a rank amateur I'v ever seen...You are better off finding ANYONE who can read aloud read you these works that are probably in the public domain...They aren't even good enough to put you to sleep because the "Narrator" is reading them with the inflection of a person who has no idea what the words flopping out of his mouth mean...The tempo is choppy, the music cheesy, and this is a total waste of compact discs...The tracks are only numbered so you cannot tell which piece of clap-trap this guy is droning on about and at least one track fades to music for no reason and comes up on another dialogue about god-knows-what....Oh, and the "narrator" has chosen a truly awful "Shakesperean" dialect for some of the tracks which is completely unfathomable...Sorry for the severity of my review, but I spent good money for Motivation and ended up with Indigestion!
