In this post, we will see the book Fundamentals of Engineering Mechanics by L. Levinson.

About the book

The book provides an overview of various aspects of engineering mechanics. The first part  (chapters 1 to 14) covers theoretical aspects of statics, kinematics and dynamics required for the later sections. The second part covers theory of machines including transmission mechanisms and connections. It also covers fundamental concepts of strain including strength of materials.

The book was translated from Russian by S. Klein was published in 1962 by Foreign Languages Publishing House. (Note: the date in the book is 1922, we know for sure it is not the case and FLPH version is from 1962. Is this a case of scanners/printers randomly changing digits in the scanned/printed documents?)

Credits to original uploader the Digital Library of India. Note: the original scan is by Digital Library of India project. The project though large in scale (millions of books digitised) it is like any other typical government project in execution. There is no quality control on the scans. In some cases the scans are barely legible while in others pages or text is missing. No colour scans. And even with black and white pdfs files size is in few hundred megs in some cases. This scan is not of good quality, there are pages which are barely readable. We will try to update this with a better scan in the future.
