ABSTRACT THIS book is intended for senior school students, and Dr. A. Jensen‘s aim has been to make it suitable for those with little knowledge of mathematics. The few integrals and

differentials that appear are relegated to appendixes, where they reinforce the arguments in the text. The book teaches largely by examples, of which there are a great many, some solved in

ample detail and most having answers given. In addition, there are review questions and problems at intervals. The illustrations are particularly clear, and there is good insistence

throughout on the use of sketches and diagrams. The student, too, is advised to check his work, and alternative methods of doing so are given. The examples are quite practical, so that the

student can relate them to problems within his own experience. Applied Engineering Mechanics By Asst. Prof. Alfred Jensen. Pp. xi+316. (New York and London: McGraw-Hill Book Co., Inc.,
