New & Improved? NOT.......2005-09-16
I have access to Peterson's original book (older than me?) and to the first edition of this one, published in 1974. I recommend buying used copies of the old ones. They contain the same info and are easier to use since the charts are bigger.
Guide to Stress Risers and Other Structural Phenomena.......2003-12-22
Absolutely essential book for anybody interested in stresses in notched bodies; structural analysts who like to use the 'back of the envelope', finite element analysts, fracture mechanicists; designers in aerospace, rail, heavy machinery, light machinery, medical devices, almost anything you can name. Book has been updated from the original; even if you have the original edition, this 2nd edition is well worth having for your engineering reference library.
AN EXCELLENT BOOK.......2000-06-29
This is an excellent book. I found the book to be extremely informative and thoghtfully written. I recommend this book for anyone that is interested in applications of stress and strain analysis.
Peterson's Stress Concentration Factors, 2nd Edition.......2000-06-29
The definitive book of stress concentration factors...updated from Peterson's original edition. This is the ultimate source for aerospace engineers dealing with design and analysis. Other engineering disciplines should find it equally useful. The book is more compact, yet thicker than the original but the the figures are very clear and readable. Explanations appear much the same.
Book Description
This book takes a fresh, student-oriented approach to teaching the material covered in the senior- and first-year graduate-level matrix structural analysis course taken by civil engineering majors. Unlike traditional texts for this course that are difficult to read, Kassimali takes special care to provide understandable and exceptionally clear explanations of concepts, step-by-step procedures for analysis, flowcharts, and interesting and modern examples, producing a technically and mathematically accurate presentation of the subject.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent Book.......2003-10-24
2D and 3D matriz analysis of skeletal structures well described. It is a must for graduate, undergraduate and professional Civil Engineers. I strongly recommend this book for those who are interested in computer applications in strucutral analysis.
No much to say. Just Amazing!.......2003-09-23
You just need to read it! The way Mr. Kassimali explains the background of the structural analysis using the stiffness matrix method supplied with many examples and flowcharts is simply the best.This book really teaches. A must for structural engineer!
"Hands on" Matrix Analysis of Structures.......2002-06-22
This book is a must for a structural engineer who wants to have a better understanding of how computers are used to perform structural analysis. The author explains precisely how computers are used to analyze 2D and 3D trusses, beams, frames, and grids in a language a working engineer can understand. This book has the reader participate in the process of understanding matrix analysis of structures by supplying flowcharts and examples that are accurate and easy to understand.
Also, the author discusses the flexibility and stiffness methods as well as finite-element formulation using virtual work to explain matrix structural analysis. And what I like about this book the most is the fact that the author explains in a step-by-step manner precisely how to write and test a working matrix structural analysis program in any computer programming language.
Solution of 2D and 3D Structures.......2000-11-25
This book solves 2D and 3D structures using Stiffness Method. For the 2D structures, it starts off with trusses, then beams and frames. Next, for the 3D structures, space trusses, space beams i.e. grids and space frames are introduced. Special cases such as pin-jointed members or member releases, temperature and fabrication error effects and support displacements were considered in this book. Usually, a structural stiffness matrix's size is Z x Z where Z is 2 times the number of joints for 2D structures. However, in this book, Kassimali's structural stiffness matrix size is DOF x DOF where DOF is the number of directions a joint can freely move. Thus this reduces computer memory storage. This book also comes with a CD-ROM with 6 programs for solving 2D and 3D trusses, beams and frames. Highly recommended for Structural Engineers wanting to write their own Structural Analysis software using Stiffness Method as good flowcharts are presented in this book. There is only 7 pages on Flexibility method. Special topics and modelling techniques are introduced such as nonprismatic members, semirigid connections, inclined roller supports etc. are presented in this book.
ORDERLINESS IN CHAOS-THE MATRIX.......2000-09-27
This book is very good for the fact that it focusses on the methods of analysis of structures using the matrix methods.It is shown nicely how matrix methods using the stiffness and flexibility methods simplify the methods of analysis of structures.One unique quality of this book is that the flowcharts used are easily understandable and hence it becomes easy for a student to actually do programming and get the results of analysis in a very quick time.Putting everything in matrix form makes students realise some orderliness in chaos and that greatly helps, in understanding the concepts and i would say that this book was totally successful in doing this job.
Book Description
This clear, comprehensive presentation discusses both the theory and applications of mechanics of materials. It examines the physical behavior of materials under load, then proceeds to model this behavior to development theory.
Combines a fluid writing style, cohesive organization, outstanding illustrations, and dynamic use of exercises, examples, and free body diagrams. Offers a four-color, photorealistic art program. Features Hibbeler's hallmark triple-accuracy checking and Procedures for Analysis sections. Available at the same price as the fifth edition.
A useful, thorough reference for engineers.
Customer Reviews:
BLess his Heart.......2007-02-13
Hibbeler is probably the most reliable author when it comes to Mechanics of Materials. A must have for Mechancial, Environmental, Civil and Materials Engineers. Explains everything in the easiest and most practical matter, without skipping anything of value.
Best textbook I've ever had.......2006-01-17
Simple, concise, great examples, great illustrations, great problems. The style is: present a topic briefly, derive equation(s) quickly, show 3-4 examples of using said equation(s), give a couple dozen problems, and move right on to the next topic. Thanks Mr. Hibbeler, for making engineering students' lives just a bit easier.
a first course in mechanics.......2004-12-25
Hibbeler offers an undergraduate text for the mechanical engineering student. The materials studied are solids, not fluids. The discussion starts with the simplest case of treating the bodies as totally rigid. Then we see a development of Newtonian mechanics, commencing with statics. No net velocities, in some obvious reference frame.
But even in this simple case, Hibbeler shows the student how to find the balance of forces in such archetypal instances as beams.
Later, he talks about how solids can to varying extents resist stresses. Be these longitudinal or torsional stresses. The resultant stress-strain relationships are a fundamental concept in mechanics, and the student should be able to follow the treatment quite adequately.

Not much on Retail... and pricey for what you get........2007-05-14
A bit dissapointed that there was very little targeted toward Retail, specifically lacking in the areas of shopping center and out parcel development... but the formulas were interesting, and the concepts that were explained... were done so in great detail.
Extremely valuable tool.......2002-10-07
"Land Development Calculations" provides an excellent and innovative strategy for working towards sustainable land use and development. The models for varying land development strategies can assist local government land use decision makers and planners as well as developers determine the carrying capacity of land within realistic thresholds. The accompanying spreadsheets for the development scenarios on the CD-ROM are extremely user friendly and do not place an undue burden on the user by requiring what may be hard to find or to collect data. All of the data required just is typical of what is necessary to make appropriate land development decisions. As a local government planner, I am working towards incorporating the information received from the models in to the zoning and development code as part of the approval process by using it to further assess suitability of the property for the purposes proposed (a zoning consideration required in accordance with the State of Georgia Zoning Procedures Act). I strongly encourage other land planners and developers to read "Land Development Calculations," because of its highly practical and very timely material.
Author Delivers Valuable Techniques and Tools.......2001-10-18
This is a terrificaly valuable technical reference for practitioners who need an efficient method of performing land development calulations. The book and its companion set of spreadsheets enable users to answer two key questions: 1) how much can be built on a given piece of land; or 2) how much land is needed to accommodate a given use? The material is clearly written and well illustrated, especially a series of worksheets leading through the method. Another strength is its comprehensiveness and detail, including all major land-use and micro site conditions.

CDO's--From Soup to Nuts (Credit Deriv Analyst).......2007-05-09
If you are looking to make some sense of this whole subprime market data, this book is for you. This is a great foundation book. This book is ideally for someone who knows a bit about the business already. I would not advise purchasing this book if you are unfamiliar with the business. There is a lot of jargon that may not be understood.
Nevertheless, this book is an excellent resouce. It touches on everything you ever wanted to know about the CDO market and then some.
This book is NOT for the expert on CDO. This is more for the afficionado.
Enjoy!!! :o)
Excellent Resource.......2004-01-07
Ms. Goodman's book is a much needed resource on CDOs. If you are just learning about the CDO market, Ms. Goodman clearly defines key terms and explains the structures from beginning to end. Those with extensive Wall Street experience will enjoy having one of the few well-written references available in the market. It is also a good marketing tool to give to potential investors. This is a good comprehensive reference guide.
Ridiculous and outrageous accusation by an idiot reviewer.......2004-01-07
The reviewer below suggests that Moorad Choudhry has posted a negative review of this book. To him/her I say this: Moorad Choudhry did not write it. I did. Mr Choudhry actually has a very high opinion of this book, and recommended to me I buy it when I attended a Bloomberg seminar he lectured at a few months ago. "Buy the new Goodman/Fabozzi book on CDOs, its excellent" he told me.
Well I did buy it, but I do not share his enthusiasm for it. It is totally US-centric and has no detail on European transactions.
However, the reviewer below, under internet anonymity, and with no proof whatsoever, decides that any negative reviewes must be written by Mr Choudhry. I am sure that were he to know his identity, Mr Choudhry would instruct his lawyers to sue this spineless, gutless idiot for libel and slander.
Get real, whoever you are. I bought the book and I do not like it. You throw around baseless accusations on Amazon, you have no proof, no clue and no idea. Just because you like the book is no reason for someone else to. And Mr Choudhry did not write that 1-star review, I did. So stop making up ridiculous accusations.
Great book on CDOs - personally recommended.......2004-01-02
I have no hesitation in recommonding this as a great book on CDOs. I have bought a copy myself and it is very impressive. Moorad Choudhry.
Essential Reference.......2003-11-15
It seems oddly convenient that a negative review of the late Marcia Stigum's book, The Money Market, recommends The Repo Handbook by Moorad Choudhry. Ms. Goodman's book has a similar title to a book he has coming out and has been attacked with one star reviews that seem very similar to the attacks on books with similar titles and on Ms. Stigum's book. The envy is easy to understand, since this clearly written book with pleasing type-face is selling well and is a valuable resource.
Don't miss the chance to buy this excellent reference work on collateralized debt obligations.

Good book for civil engineering students.......2000-06-30
This book is very useful for every students who take civil engineering as their major. It give you all the explanation about concrete destruction because of nature and human error. And tells you how to repair it and to maintain it so it won't damaged more that it used to be. I find this book very helpful for my thesis. Every civil engineering students and other major that related to it has to own this book.
Book Description
This popular text provides an accessible guide to the application, interpretation, and pitfalls of structural equation modeling (SEM). Reviewed are fundamental statistical concepts--such as correlation, regressions, data preparation and screening, path analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis--as well as more advanced methods, including the evaluation of nonlinear effects, measurement models and structural regression models, latent growth models, and multilevel SEM. The companion Web page offers data and program syntax files for many of the research examples, electronic overheads that can be downloaded and printed by instructors or students, and links to SEM-related resources.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent introduction to SEM.......2007-01-10
Kline's book provides a very readable introduction to and explanation of structural equation modeling. The book does not include statistical proofs, so it would not serve well as an advanced text. But if you are looking for a book that explains what SEM is and how it fits within the larger framework of inferential statistics, I recommend it.
Book Description
This conceptual introduction to architectural structures covers all the basic structural principles and terms, explains how to use statistics of equilibrium formulae to calculate beam reactions, and employs illustrations and multi-exposure model photographs to provide a compelling overall guide to structural behavior. Also distinguishing this guide from many others on the market are its case studies and useful preliminary sizing data.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent supplement.......2007-04-20
This is a great book to act as a conceptual supplement architects taking courses in structures. Glad I bought mine when it was still going for only $35.00 used. Knowing how good it is I would actually consider paying the high used prices it is going for now.
best intro to architectural structures.......2003-10-01
Excellent intro to architectural structures. Strong on principles and concepts with numerous case studies; illustrations (by the author) alone are worth the price; expensive.

i am an architect. my professor has translated this book in farsi for introduce this book to his students. i think this book is very useful for architects, because they can understand structures good with many good examples.
Book Description
Philippe Bourgois's ethnographic study of social marginalization in inner-city America, won critical acclaim when it was first published in 1995. For the first time, an anthropologist had managed to gain the trust and long-term friendship of street-level drug dealers in one of the roughest ghetto neighborhoods--East Harlem. This new edition adds a prologue describing the major dynamics that have altered life on the streets of East Harlem in the seven years since the first edition. In a new epilogue Bourgois brings up to date the stories of the people--Primo, Caesat, Luis, Tony, Candy--who readers come to know in this remarkable window onto the world of the inner city drug trade. Philippe Bourgois is Professor and Chair of the Department of Anthropology, History and Social Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. He has conducted fieldwork in Central America on ethnicity and social unrest and is the author of Ethnicity at Work: Divided Labor on a Central American Banana Plantation (Johns Hopkins University Press, 1989). He is writing a book on homeless heroin addicts in San Francisco. 1/e hb ISBN (1996) 0-521-43518-8 1/e pb ISBN (1996) 0-521-57460-9
Customer Reviews:
Good and Enlightening Read.......2007-09-19
This is a great book. Definitely disturbing but well worth the read. Bourgois does an excellent job of honestly portraying the lives of these people while still letting the reader know that he is human and sometimes has a difficult time being unbiased. Highly recommend this book.
Well Written Account of Urban Life........2007-07-24
I read this book as a junior Sociology major at Berkeley. This book makes me want to quit my day job and go back to school to explore academia again. Highly inspirational anthropological account of growing up impoverished in NY and selling crack to make ends meet. Like many people, I do not support drugs in any way as it contributes to the decline of families and communities, but I love how this book guides you through the intricacies of street (drug) life with a nice layer of dignity and integrity.
The ugly truth.......2006-11-08
This book is well written, throughly researched and extremely enlightening. It is the best ethnography i have read. Unlike some "liberals" who write about the poor (e.g. Kozol), Bourgois lived among the people he writes about, and he is not afraid to show the less flattering aspects of their personalities. Thus, there are passages that will make some people cringe, others that are frankly disturbing, but it is all part of the ugly reality of life in the ghetto. Bourgois lets the residents speak in their own voices and provides useful commentary rather than "cultural marxist" analysis as some reviewer suggested. In Search of Respect shows that simplistic explanations for the persistance of poverty ("bad choices") are unsatisfactory, but does not ignore the fact that some poor people commit stupid and also brutal acts. This is a great book for use in upper level undergraduate courses in social problems, deviance, criminology, ethnography, qualitative methods, juvenile delinquency.
"hard core" book.......2006-08-22
This book is a 5 for awakening of what was Harlem NY and for a sociological book, but a 4 because it is not something you will enjoy reading 2x. It is deep, complex, and if you are a young person reading it or someone unfamiliar with the mentallity of the oppressed being an oppressor in a unfeeling world...you may have to stop for a second and take a breath. The book is well written from a sociological and anthropological perspective and it will go from your heart and mind to the pit of your stomach, but it certainly is a wake up call to the social changes and conditions of poverty, drug use & abuse and the people sucked into that world.
example: the author goes from talking about being "white" and seen as an outsider and recieving only bits of information to being 'accepted' and listening to "primo" explain when "they" gang raped a junkie and had to pistol whip his cousins wife because she wanted to have sexual relations with him while his cousin "the don" was in jail.
It is an extrodinary book and not surprisingly has become more expensive to purchase as the years go forward.
An Amazing Ethnography.......2006-05-12
Concidering Bourgois's choice for an ethnographic site I am suprised this book is as non jugmental as it is. While some times limited in scope due to his almost complete forcus on the crack community of East Harlem, instead of venturing out and looking at this cultural groups inpact on the greater community around it, it gives a quite amazing portrayl and discusssion of drug culture in the neighborhood. The insights he makes on the effect of streat culture and challenges many from poor innercity communities can have in negotiating the licit economy is worth note. In particular the chapters School Days and Going Ligit are wonderful peices of ethnographic annalysis and study. That he chose not to glorify or shugar coat the lives of those he spent five years living with adds much to the power and incite of this work.

Customer Reviews:
Very Good .......2007-08-06
More detailed explanation of every subject discussed. Nothing was assummed. The appendix include vital information for new SAS users.
Absolutely outstanding.......2007-05-23
This is the single best statistics text I've ever read. It's extremely easy to follow, very practical, and gives outstanding examples. Everything is so clearly described in the book that one might call it Factor analysis and SEM for Dummies. I only wish that the book covered nonrecursive SEM models.
Easy to read.......2006-11-03
Very easy to read. Examples are simple and effective. The book explains the statistical concepts as well as the SAS programming tricks. In fact, the book provides complete code - you will be able to get good amount of analysis done just by copying that code. However, you also need to buy the "The Little SAS Book" if you never used SAS before.
Excellent book.......2003-05-01
This outstanding book was one of the mainstays for my Ph.D. dissertation. It explain factor analysis and SEM techniques in a clear and effective way, with an hands-on approach that guides the reader during all the data analysis and result interpretation phases.
Thank goodness for this book.......2002-10-21
I really needed this for my dissertation. As a computer scientist who is using statistically-based data mining techniques in my PhD dissertation, I needed a good "Quick Course" in factor analysis. More important than just "what is factor analysis", I needed to know how to implement my ideas in SAS. This book did the trick. Now let's hope my advisors think so. :)
