First sentence: The fact that the concept of stress has, over the past six decades, been "the source of immense interest" (Doublet, 2000, p.41) should not disguise the fact that the term has steadily evolved over a period of several hundreds years, if not over centuries, and "its discovery in the twentieth century was more of a rediscovery" (Cassidy, 1999, p.6.).
