Continuum Mechanics and Thermodynamics: From Fundamental Concepts to Governing Equations
"I find it quite impressive that despite writing about such an old subject, these authors were able to present it with a very distinct personal style and perspective. The book is written in a very contemporary style and is full of well-thought out (solved) examples. I found it very enjoyable to read. Nearly every other page has footnotes which are in turns quirky, humorous or just plain factual but always informative and add an exceptional value to the text."Pradeep Sharma, iMechanica"The authors present the material clearly, with care taken to provide detailed derivations when needed and heuristic arguments, when those suffice. The end-of-chapter exercises are well-designed, and this text could very profitably be used as the basis for an undergraduate/graduate course in continuum mechanics, suitable for both science and engineering students. The author should be congratulated on producing a fine textbook, one that meets the needs of a variety of disciplines."Andrew Resnick, Cleveland State University for Contemporary Physics
