Introductory Statistical Mechanics for Physicists by D. K. C. MacDonald This concise introduction is geared toward those concerned with solid state or low temperature physics. It presents the principles with simplicity and clarity, reviewing issues of critical interest. 1963 edition.
Mechanics by J. P. Den Hartog This classic introductory text features hundreds of applications and design problems that illuminate fundamentals of trusses, loaded beams and cables, and related areas. Includes 334 answered problems.
Statics by Lawrence E. Goodman, William H. Warner Important text emphasizes use of vectors and carefully explains vector analysis. Other topics include analysis of statically determinate states of equilibrium, equilibrium under distributed forces, and frictional effects in statics.
Classical Mechanics: 2nd Edition by H.C. Corben, Philip Stehle Applications not usually taught in physics courses include theory of space-charge limited currents, atmospheric drag, motion of meteoritic dust, variational principles in rocket motion, transfer functions, much more. 1960 edition.
