I wouldn&#39;t recommend buying it on amazon it&#39;s not worth the $72, but it is a nice addition to Timoshenko&#39;s theory of elasticity.</p> <br class="clear" /> http://imechanica.org/node/2139#comments education ES 240 Fall 2007 solid mechanics students textbooks Tue, 16 Oct 2007 14:07:58 -0400 AlisonForsyth 2139 at http://imechanica.org
