This text provides an introduction to the basic ideas of continuum physics and their application to a wealth of macroscopic phenomena. It emphasizes the importance in understanding the physical principles behind equations and the conditions underlying approximations. This edition includes three new chapters onelasticity of slender rods, energy, and entropy. It also offers more illustrations, improved physics arguments and mathematical presentations, and expandedproblem sets. Ancillary materials can be found on a companion website. A solutions manual is available for qualifying instructors.
