No dust jacket is included.

"Engineering Mechanics: Statics" by S. Timoshenko and D. H. Young is a foundational text in the field of engineering mechanics. Published by McGraw-Hill Book Company, Inc. in 1937, this edition is a First Edition, Second Impression, making it a significant piece for collectors and scholars of engineering history. Timoshenko, a renowned professor at Stanford University, and Young, an assistant professor at the University of Michigan, bring authoritative insights into statics, a core area of mechanical engineering. This edition is notable for its historical value and the early insights it offers into the principles of statics. The book's subject matter is crucial for understanding the equilibrium of forces, a fundamental concept in engineering. This copy was part of the U.S. Naval Academy's library, adding to its provenance. The book shows signs of wear typical for ex-library copies, with inscriptions and stamps, but remains a valuable resource for both study and collection.
