Review: It's a very useful textbook, a clear explanation of the difficult subject. Unfortunately, as was already mentioned a poor quality printing of the textbook does not reflect the brilliant contents. Although, honestly, it isn't a big deal.

Review: Although this is said to be one of the great expositions of dynamics in the literature, I had to cancel my Kindle version because the layout of the mathematical parts was incoherent on my Kindle. I think it was probably decipherable, but only with effort. Possibly other Kindle models will do the maths properly, so it might be worth a try. Anyway, I returned my Kindle version (which is a very simple and sound procedure) and bought a hard copy version in its place, at just a little extra cost. I have not tried to lock horns with it yet, but can sense that it is a compact and perceptive account. Not as hands-on as Feynman (lectures in physics), but then who is?
