From the book reviews: "The book with its systematic and topically integrated approach from first principles to applications combines expertly the essentials of 'statics' and 'strength of materials' into a single valuable text, and could be recommended to engineering and science students and to teachers." (M. Cengiz Dokmeci, zbMATH, Vol. 1288, 2014)
