"I would look elsewhere" according to Chad Giffen. This book was a new choice from our professor who was teaching our mechanism design class. In my opinion, the three authors who wrote it each took a section and slapped their parts together. Totally different writing style as you go throught the book. In addition t is a small book and you constanlty are turning pages to makes references to figures which makes it hard to read with good flw. n addition a lot of the diagrams are unclear and dont necessarily say what they represent. Our professor ended up hating the book himse. Sara said Dense and user-unfriendly. The authors obviously know a great deal about mechanism design, but they've done a terrible job of conveying that knowledge in a clear fashion. The illustrations are unclear and the photos are even worse. The text reads like a rambling lecture rather than an organized, logical piece of writing.If I could use one word to describe this text, it would be "dense". This book might be useful as a reference, but is terrible for someone seeing the material for the first time.. "One of the worst texts of my degree" according to EngineerGrad. This is one of the worst text books I ever had the misfortune of using in my undergraduate degree.You could not learn mechanism design or synthesis from this book, if you are lucky you will have a skilled professor and learn in class.The concepts are discussed only superficially, the examples do not cover the concepts and are presented largely incomplete with many steps skipped. The text is frankly way too short for such a complex subject. The sheer crappyness of this text as a teaching tool is obvious when compared to oth
From the Back Cover This thorough and comprehensive web-enhanced edition has been updated and enhanced — No other book has a web connection like this one! The software associated with the book makes it very useful for designing and analyzing linkage and CAM mechanisms. New material includes coverage of type synthesis, robot grippers, and curvature cognates, while retaining coverage of traditional material with a significant treatment of kinematic synthesis. . All material is explored both graphically and analyti
