Introductory Continuum Mechanics with Applications to Elasticity is a new kind of textbook: by combining continuum mechanics with elasticity theory and examples, it consolidates two textbooks into one. Not only does this save students on traditional book costs, but it also naturally blends these related topics into a cohesive book.

With unique examples and problem sets, the title also serves as a solid introduction to continuum mechanics and elasticity. Developed from years of notes and classroom testing, the title is the perfect blend of content: multi-faceted and challenging, but without drowning the readers in complexity.
