Through his voluminous and in?uential writings, editorial
activities, organi- tional leadership, intellectual acumen, and
strong sense of history, Clifford - brose Truesdell III (1919-2000)
was the main architect for the renaissance of - tional continuum
mechanics since the middle of the twentieth century. The present
collection of 42 essays and research papers pays tribute to this
man of mathematics, science, and natural philosophy as well as to
his legacy. The ?rst ?ve essays by B. D. Coleman, E. Giusti, W.
Noll, J. Serrin, and D. Speiser were texts of addresses given by
their authors at the Meeting in memory of Clifford Truesdell, which
was held in Pisa in November 2000. In these essays the reader will
?nd personal reminiscences of Clifford Truesdell the man and of
some of his activities as scientist, author, editor, historian of
exact sciences, and principal founding member of the Society for
Natural Philosophy. The bulk of the collection comprises 37
research papers which bear witness to the Truesdellian legacy.
These papers cover a wide range of topics; what ties them together
is the rational spirit. Clifford Truesdell, in his address upon
receipt of a Birkhoff Prize in 1978, put the essence of modern
continuum mechanics succinctly as "conceptual analysis, analysis
not in the sense of the technical term but in the root meaning:
logical criticism, dissection, and creative scrutiny.
