This overview of the development of continuum mechanics throughout
the twentieth century is unique and ambitious. Utilizing a
historical perspective, it combines an exposition on the technical
progress made in the field and a marked interest in the role played
by remarkable individuals and scientific schools and institutions
on a rapidly evolving social background. It underlines the newly
raised technical questions and their answers, and the ongoing
reflections on the bases of continuum mechanics associated, or in
competition, with other branches of the physical sciences,
including thermodynamics. The emphasis is placed on the development
of a more realistic modeling of deformable solids and the
exploitation of new mathematical tools. The book presents a
balanced appraisal of advances made in various parts of the world.
The author contributes his technical expertise, personal
recollections, and international experience to this general
overview, which is very informative albeit concise.
