I just received this book now(half way through the semester). I am impressed with it. I got sick of using the book required for the class and started looking for alternatives. Where the required book has a few 1/4 page example problems, this...

This book is useless. If you already know the material it may suffice, but you could do better. If you are going to try to learn dynamics using this book, good luck. The author's examples leave out key steps, and his notation is very...

The book provides a lot of tips and useful information, a lot of it common sense and lot of it new knowledge, especially for a new rider. The only thing that holds it back from being a 5 star is the continuous lecturing on the dangers of...

I suppose the content of the book could be O.K. except the pages fell away from the binding leaving me with a mess that I had no interest in trying to re-organize. There is enough other stuff out there to satisfy my learning. I've just placed Mr....

I ordered this book and Motorcycling Excellence, and i prefer the latter. For a beginner, Motorcycling Excellence is a much more thorough, current, and easily readable book.

Other reviews seem to focus on the fact that the newer edition doesn't have enough "new stuff." The examples are updated, the listed websites are updated, there are several expanded sections. Technical writing isn't like neuroscience or some field...

This has been a great book for learning Project 2007. If you already know Project, it does a great job of providing review material, guiding you away from unnecessary chapters. If you have never really spent time with Project, this book does a...

I really enjoyed this book (I've read about 80% of it so far). I already knew the basics of Microsoft Project, and was able to skip the first couple chapters of it. But I found that for the topics where I needed a refresher or to learn...

The book was required text for a course I am taking and the cd that came with this book did install on my computer, I got a replacement cd and it did not install. So to me buying the book was a waste of time and money.

This book is for the novice user of ms project. It does not go into more advanced funcitons for example customizing fields. In multiple sections it referenced the "help" file to better cover a topic. I was looking for a more advanced user...

My discussion here is a rating of the 1st edition and the author, Professor R.C. Hibbeler. The first edition is the one I used in my course of study while in college.

Granted the book does not offer a lot of complicated examples, only...

After being out of school for 15 years, I had a lot of work to prepare for the FE / EIT exam. I worked nearly every problem in this book over a 5 month period and didn't really have time to look at other books. I passed the Florida exam so it...
