Professor Shames spent 31 years at the State University at Buffalo where he attained
the titles of Faculty Professor and Distinguished Teaching Professor. Since 1993 he
has been teaching full time at The George Washington University as Distinguished
Professor. At the present time, he has written 10 books in mechanics including
undergraduate and graduate texts. These books have been used world wide in English
and in a half dozen translations. His books have had a number of important “firsts”
that have become mainstays as to the way mechanics is now taught. Remarkably,
virtually everything that Professor Shames has published during a period of over
four decades is still in print. The following are his textbooks: Engineering Mechanics—Statics, Fourth edition, Prentice-Hall, Inc.
