Mechanical Engineering Principles by K. D. Snyder (AZ USA)  3 Stars
April 06, 2008
As a novice with an interest in engineering I find the book challenging, albeit a little difficult. This is not due to the book, but to my lack of knowledge, of which I am sure I will eventually learn a great deal in time.
