Datta, Pure and Applied Geophysics, 170 (2013)"I completely agree with the reviewer of the first edition that this book provides an excellent, modern introduction to the field of continuum mechanics. The second edition has been streamlined, and the structure of the presentation has been improved. ... on its best way to become a classic text in t.
