Statistical Mechanics Of Elasticity Paperback – 22 October 2002

One of the neat things about this book is when it was written, it provides insight on views at the time the book was originally written which allows for contrasting to modern day views on the topic. The footnotes and works cited list is excellent and I read a number of those articles to learn more about the specific ideas and concepts mentioned. Even if you haven’t seen the material before the book does a nice job of linking concepts covered in one place to concepts covered in other places so you can build up your understanding.

落丁が無かったがインクがにじんで文字が見えない部分があった。それ以外は、特に汚れも見えず期待どうりであった。内容としては、統計力学と、一般相対論の知識があると解りやすいかもしれない。

I did not have a statistical mechanics background before starting to read this book. The development of the subject is very clear. I have only read the first 4 chapters, but I can say its a very good book to understand statistical mechanics fundamentals. It does help if you already have a continuum mechanics background. Hopefully, I can finish reading the book this year!
