Mechanics Book Recommendations for Product Design Students

[Chantry09]

Homework Statement

Im having a hard time in my mechanics class at my course. The teacher has recommended "Applied Mechanics" but the book looks incredibly dull and old fashioned. I am looking to buy another mechanics book.

Im doing product design and at the moment we are learning about friction of a block on a slope, turning forces of cogs, projectiles etc. I think its A level mechanics, but i didnt do maths at A level, so i need to catch up. However later on in the course it gets harder so i need a book which can teach me that also.

Does anyone have any recomendations?

Thanks for any help you can give,

James

I did search, i couldn't find anything. A lot of them seem to be dealing with a different side of mechanics than i am learning, or seem even more plain than the one i have been recommened to buy.
