The new Eighth Edition of Vector Mechanics for Engineers: Statics and Dynamics marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Beer/Johnston series. Continuing in the spirit of its successful previous editions, the Eighth Edition provides conceptually accurate and thorough coverage together with a significant addition of new problems, including biomechanics problems, and the most extensive media resources available. Text comes with an outstanding media package which includes, Hands on Mechanics, ARIS Homework Management System, which has 300 algorithmic questions and 2600 static questions and YourOtherTeacher.Com

--The eighth editions feature collaborations from David Mazurek of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and Phillip Cornwell of Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology for Statics and Dynamics, respectively. .

--The photo program continues to be expanded in each edition, with new chapter opener and in chapter photos added to each chapter.

--A C.O.S.M.O.S. Solutions Manual, provided to instructors on DVD, allows for assignment generation, tracking, and distribution. Instructors also have the ability to edit homework problems.

--McGraw Hill's Assessment, Review, and Instruction System (ARIS) is a complete, online tutorial, electronic homework, and course management system, designed for greater ease of use than any other system available.

--Also available on ARIS, student and instructor resources include algorithmic problems, S.M.A.R.T. tutorials, lecture powerpoints, and images from the text, among other resources.

--McGraw-Hill's web-based Hands-on Mechanics teaching demonstration library provides instructors with instructions for building hands-on physical models used to demonstrate important Statics and Dynamics concepts in class.

--The 8th editions offer over 48% new and revised homework problem set, with biomechanics-focused problems added appropriately throughout the texts.
