From the Publisher

This text offers a physical--rather than mathematical--approach to the study of continuum mechanics. The Third Edition enhances the three-fold objective established in previous editions: to emphasize the formulation of problems in mechanics, to reduce vague ideas into precise mathematical statements, and to cultivate a habit of questioning, analyzing, designing and inventing in engineering and science.
