Title: Waste of trees!
Review: I purchased this book, knowing the negative comments about it, but I was required to do so. I'm trying to do homework, and the book assumes you know every single thing from mechanics and strength of materials. There's no reference formulas, no examples whatsoever. Maybe it's possible to use this text as a reference, not $100+ textbook to learn from. Looks like the author wrote this book to supplement his own class with a reference, but the world is bigger than his class. Please, whoever bought this book, scan the pages into pdf and distribute it to the internet for free, because this book isn't worth any money. I'm not learning anything, just doing Mechanics of Materials over again under a different name.If you want to learn aircraft structures, you need to do a research and find texts, where real engineers discuss real-life problems.
