"Text-Book on the Strength of Materials" by S. E. Slocum and E. L. Hancock, published by Ginn & Company in 1906, is a comprehensive guide on material strength and structural analysis. This hardcover edition, printed by The Athenæum Press in Boston, is a testament to early 20th-century engineering education. Slocum, a Professor of Applied Mathematics at the University of Cincinnati, and Hancock, an Assistant Professor of Applied Mechanics at Purdue University, bring their academic expertise to this foundational text. While the first edition status is not verified, this copy remains a valuable resource for students and collectors interested in the evolution of engineering principles. The book’s subject matter delves into the mechanics of materials, making it essential for understanding historical and theoretical aspects of material strength. The condition is good, with a sturdy binding and minimal wear, though no dust jacket is present.
