Excellent book by a well- Known Pro

Very classic text in Mechanics of Materials and my favorite edition is the second edition of Mechanics of Materials, 1976 (My all time favorite mechanics book). I own all Popove's mechanics books (And some 30 books in mechanics of solids) and they are really top notch level in their field. Despite the typos that other people pointed out (Which is not Popov mistake), I think this is one of the best texts in mechanics of materials and well deserve to look at by all engineering students who are studying this course. No matter what book is your text, you need to look at this one.

Mechanics of materials or Engieeering Mechanics of solids?

Hello,I'am a Stress Analyst Engineer and work with Bomardier in Montreal. I've read the book "Mechanics of Materials" a book of Popov, E,P.(ed.1976)( some 585 pages) I'd like to buy one for myself. But I found for 1998 edition "Engineering Mechanics of Solicds" of Popov, E, P too! I confuse! Is it the same emproved book with the change of title or is it a differnt new book of the author! Thanks to confirm me your what's the true! By the way, I wish to make a group order in one way!JMB.
