This book is perhaps the best-known and most widely used textbook for undergraduate mechanism design. The book was an invaluable resource when I was a student; it continues to be an essential part of my teaching and research. I especially appreciate the excellent blend of in-depth kinematics theory and practical design examples. I chose this book also because of my great admiration of the authors, Art Erdman and Sridhar Kota, both mentors who continue to inspire me.
