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: Statics and Dynamics" continues this tradition.
