Abstract
A. M. Freudenthal London: John Wiley. 1966. Pp. xv + 492. Price £5 13s.
Although written in modern idiom with a currently fashionable title, the book deals with a subject formerly called 'Strength of materials', and covers what engineers are expected to know about stresses in simple structures and mechanical properties of materials. The Introduction admirably discusses how the theoretical and experimental approaches to the behaviour of mechanical systems are to be reconciled with each other.
