Summary: The bible of rational nonlilnear continuum mechanics
Review: If you read no other book on continuum mechanics, read this. The only other book you need read is The Classical Field Theories by Truesdell & Toupin. One must expend effort in reading The Non-linear Field Theories, but one is rewarded with keen insights and the ability to achieve and understand new results.

Summary: The bible of continuum mechanics!
Review: The Nonlinear Field Theories of Mechanics is THE mostcomprehensive book on continuum mechanics to date. The multitude of books that have been written on continuum mechanics since the publication of this book (almost forty years ago) derive both their content and inspiration from this book. The Nonlinear Field Theories of Mechanics is an invaluable reference, and any serious researcher in continuum mechanics ought to have a copy of this book. This is the bible or the quran or the gita of continuum mechanics.
