"The problem with these books is ... Beer & Johnston spoils the student and the instructor. The textbooks for the courses that follow are generally not nearly as well structured for learning the problem solving method appropriate to their subjects."

--Stephen C. Cowin, City University Of New York

"The problem sets in Beer & Johnston represent one of the strengths of the text . . . They are written in an unambiguous manner and [are] easy to interpret for the students."

--Roger L. Ludin, California Polytechnic Institute, San Luis Obispo

"In my opinion the advantage that Beer & Johnston has over many textbooks is the emphasis on problem solving techniques and the consistent use of vector diagrams for problem solving."

--Yohannes Ketema, University of Minnesota

"The writing style is excellent. The material is presented in a clear and easy to follow manner."

--Shaaban Abdallah, University of Cincinnati
