Reviews

The book, from a distinctly different viewpoint than usual, offers a clear and lucid account of the developments of continuum mechanics ... . The book is highly recommendable, preferably in orderly reading of all the three volumes, to interested readers among mechanical engineers, applied mathematicians and physicists. (M. Cengiz Dokmeci, zbMATH 1341.74004, 2016)
