Engineering Mechanics

The book is bound in red cloth with noticeable wear along the spine and edges, indicative of its age and usage. The spine shows fraying, and the corners are bumped. The binding remains intact, though the lack of a dust jacket suggests it has been well-utilized. Internally, the pages are clean with no inscriptions or library markings.

"Engineering Mechanics" by Archie Higdon and William B. Stiles, published by Prentice-Hall, Inc. in 1955, is a comprehensive text on the principles of engineering mechanics. This second edition, printed in Englewood Cliffs, N.J., provides in-depth coverage of statics and dynamics, essential for students and professionals in the field. Higdon, a Colonel in the U.S. Air Force and acting head of the Department of Mathematics at the United States Air Force Academy, collaborates with Stiles, a Professor of Engineering Mechanics at the University of Alabama. This edition is part of a respected series known for its clarity and rigorous approach. The book is scarce in this specific edition, making it a valuable addition for collectors and practitioners interested in historical engineering texts. The book is bound in red cloth with visible wear, particularly on the spine, indicating its use over time.
