Title: A head-scratcher
Review: Shames manages to take one of the simplest mechanics courses ever and turn it into rocket science (that's not until next semester....). Even taking the class taught by the author himself, I remain baffled most of the time. The book has moments of clear language, but manages to leave out key details about necessary topics. There are more than enough examples, but he manages to skip and combine so many steps and methods, it can only leave a student puzzled. Leave this text for the study of theory, but use something else for applications.
