useful and practical book
I was a pre-engineering student in Seattle. This book have plenty of examples in which I can follow step by step. The homework problems are useful, practical and innovative in this book. It help us to visualize the practical problems outside the school. Thus, this is very helpful for the engineering students, especially Civil and structral, to build up the fundamental concept of materials. Overall good book
This is a good book on a very difficult subject.It was the text book for one of my harder engineering classes.The book does a pretty decent job of explaining theroies, and the worked example problems are done pretty good.My only complaint is that the worked examples are quite easy compared to the homework problems.Homework problems require lots of time, thinking, and MORE time.Overall i thought the material was pretty interesting.Good Luck

Hard to Follow and Needs More Examples
I'm a pre-engineering student taking a mechanics of materials course at a local community college. I find this book tough to follow along and understand. I read through a section, and ask myself what I read, and I dunno. Read more

Must-have book for low temperature physicist
This is an up-to-date "must have" book for all those working in the area of low temperature physics. Profs Enss and Hunklinger should be congratulated in having produced such a wonderful book. It is based upon a course taught by these professors for many years, and consequently is ideal for use as a text book on which to base a graduate level course on low temperature physics. ...

Really great book
This is really a great introductory book for learning mechanics of materials.Each phenomena is dealt with from an energy point of view.This allows of suitable simplications of phenomenologically complicated processes, and presents a comprehensive framework for dealing with a large range of processes.The book can be essentially divided into two parts.The first part introduces the reader to the mechanics fundamentals and the mathematical tools.The second part deals with the application of the tools to develop elasticity and plasticty models.The analysis is consistent throughout, and very lucid.A really great book !

A excellent introduction to chaos
This is an accessible and readable introductory textbook on chaos and nonlinear dynamics. It focuses on the ideas behind the theory of chaos, rather than on the details of the mathematics which can sometimes hinder rather than help the reader gain real insight into the mechanisms of nonlinear systems. fundamental, systematic
If you are looking for a textbook or reference on chaos theory, I recommend you to buy this book. Good book!

Good Intro to Quantum Dots
As an inorganic chemist who has worked with nanoparticles for a decade, but an initiate to the field of semiconductor quantum dots (QD), I found this book to be very useful.It is clearly written so that even thetheoretical physics discussions are comprehensible to a non-physicist.Itis a good introduction to this field and should be readily available to anyresearcher contemplating working with QD.The references are fairlycurrent with many from 1996 and 1997.Read more
