      abstract = {This updated and augmented second edition covers the  history of mechanics in such a way as to explain how this  all-important discipline shaped our world. Like the first  edition, Dr. Allen presents the material in an engaging,  accessible manner, with many historic insights and thorough  explanations of attending concepts. The text retains its  coverage of classical mechanics, essentially Newtonian  mechanics, and adds chapters on three additional topics  that go well beyond classical mechanics: relativity,  quantum/nanomechanics, and biomechanics. Contextualizes  mechanics from the ancients, through Newton, and up to 21st  Century nanotechnology Explains how these new developments  in mechanics will continue to alter our world Appropriate  for undergraduate students and faculty as well as lay  readers interested in physics and engineering .},
