There are many textbooks and treatises on finite elasticity, but Finite Elasticity Theory by David J. Steigmann is special. First, it is at the same time concise and deep, without any dogmatism. Second, it achieves the difficult balance between scientific rigor and clear presentation. Moreover, and probably the most important aspect of this book, there is a subtle interplay between mathematical and physical rigor, two aspects that are rarely seen together in such works. * David J. Steigmann, MathSciNet *
