Unlike other books on this subject, which tend to concentrate on 2-D dynamics, this text focuses on the application of Newton-Euler methods to complex, real-life 3-D dynamics problems. It is thus ideal for elective courses in intermediate dynamics.

From the reviews of the first edition:

"Ardema (Santa Clara Univ., California) is highly commended for the thorough, systematic, and concise approach in this book. He explains some of the very inextricable concepts clearly ... . The strength of the book lies in its coverage of a wide range of topics ... . Each chapter includes examples that are worked with sufficient detail, as well as plenty of challenging problems ... . This work is strongly recommended as a technical elective to undergraduates ... . Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals." (R.N. Laoulache, CHOICE, Vol. 42 (11), July, 2005)

"The subject of this book is the dynamics of rigid bodies. ... The book has grown out of an undergraduate engineering course on dynamics taught at Santa Clara University, California. ... the wealth of examples makes the book a useful source for a large class of readers. ... I think that even people who teach mechanics at a more sophisticated level, i.e. mathematics or physics students, could profit from taking a look at the examples in this book." (Volker Perlick, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1087, 2006)
