The answer to this question is simple. Russ Johnston's first teach- ing ·appointment was in the Department of Civil Engineering and Mechanics at Lehigh University. There he met Ferd Beer, who had joined that department two years earlier and was in charge of the courses in mechanics.
Born in France and educated in France and Switzerland (he held an M. degree from the Sorbonne and an Sc. degree in the field of theoretical mechanics from the University of Geneva), Ferd had come to the United States after serving in the French army during the early part of World War II and had taught for four years at Williams College in the Williams¥ MIT joint arts and engineering program. Born in Philadelphia, Russ had obtained a B.
degree in civil engineering from the University of Delaware and an Sc. degree in the field of structural engineering from MIT. Ferd was delighted to discover that the young man who had been hired chiefly to teach graduate structural engineering courses was not only willing but eager to help him reorganize the mechanics courses. Both believed that these courses should be taught from a few basic prin- ciples and that the various concepts involved would be best understood and remembered by the students if they were presented to them in a graphic way.
Together they wrote lecture notes in statics and dynam- ics, to which they later added problems they felt would appeal to fu- ture engineers, and soon they produced the manuscript of the first edi- tion of Mechanics for Engineers. The second edition of Mechanics for Engineers and the first edition of Vector Mechanics for Engineers found Russ Johnston at Worcester Polytechnic Institute and the next editions at the University of Connecticut. In the meantime, both Ferd and Russ had assumed administrative responsibilities in their departments, and both were involved in research, consulting, and supervising graduate students-Ferd in the area of stochastic processes and random vibra- tions, and Russ in the area of elastic stability and structural analysis and design. However, their interest in improving the teaching of the basic mechanics courses had not subsided, and they both taught sections of these courses as they kept revising their texts and began v .ut the Authors writing together the manuscript of the first edition of Mechanics of Materials.
Ferd and Russ's contributions to engineering education earned them a number of honors and awards. They were presented with the West~ em Electric Fund Award for excellence in the instruction of engineer~ ing students by their respective regional sections of the American So- ciety for Engineering Education, and they both received the Distinguished Educator Award from the Mechanics Division of the same society. In 1991 Russ received the Outstanding Civil Engineer Award from the Connecticut Section of the American Society of Civil Engi- neers, and in 1995 Ferd was awarded an honorary Doctor of Engineer~ ing degree by Lehigh University. DeWolf, Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Connecticut, joined the Beer and Johnston team as an author on the second edition of Mechanics of Materials.
degree in civil engineering from the University of Hawaii and M. degrees in structural engineering from Cornell University. His research interests are in the area of elastic stability, bridge monitoring, and struc- tural analysis and design. He is a member of the Connecticut Board of Examiners for Professional Engineers.

This text is designed for the first course in me- chanics of materials-or strength of materials-offered to enginee1ing stu- dents in the sophomore or junior year.
The authors hope that it will help instmctors achieve this goal in that particular course in the same way that their other texts may have helped them in statics and dynamics. GENERAL APPROACH In this text the study of the mechanics of materials is based on the understanding of a few basic concepts and on the use of simplified models.
