“This book gives the reader a representative view of an enormous variety of continuum mechanics topics. It provides an excellent overview of the current state of research on applied continuum mechanics … The book will be also suitable for use in specialized courses for doctoral students.” (Andrzej Icha, Pure and Applied Geophysics, Vol. 175, 2018)
