From the reviews:
"The second volume, subtitled Applications, begins with a chapter summarizing the methodology for deriving the governing DAEs for a general mechanical system and mapping these into DEs. ... The book has a number of nice features. ... Multiple and comprehensive illustrations are provided throughout the manuscript, ranging from very simple diagrams to illustrate the basic concepts (such as a moment vector) to photographs and engineering drawings of complex machinery ... . the manuscript makes for a desirable reference work in any mechanician’s library."
