The Seventh Edition is no exception, as it carries on the book's tradition of presenting equations and diagrams of structural properties -- all in an easy-to-use, thumb-through format. Offering improved readability, the latest edition of Roark's Formulas for Stress and Strain is truly the best Roark's yet, and the one reference that you'll turn to most, project after project, year after year.
