The suggestions for further reading given below are divided according to the two parts of the book: theory and solutions.

Books related to Part I on theory

There exists an impressive assortment of books addressing the topics contained in the first part of this book. Here we list either those books that have become standard references in the field, or titles that focus on specific aspects of the theory and therefore provide a deeper presentation than the relatively few pages of this book will permit.

• Readers interested in the connection between continuum mechanics and more fundamental microscopic theories of material behavior are referred to the companion book to this one, written by two of the authors, called Modeling Materials: Continuum, Atomistic and Multiscale Techniques and also published by Cambridge University Press [TM11]. That book includes a concise summary of the continuum theory presented in this book (which serves as a good abbreviated reference to the subject), followed by a discussion of atomistics (quantum mechanics, atomistic models of materials and molecular statics), atomistic foundations of continuum concepts (statistical mechanics, microscopic expressions for continuum fields and molecular dynamics) and multiscale methods (atomistic constitutive relations and computational techniques for coupling continuum and atomistics). [TM11] is consistent in spirit and notation with this book and is likewise targeted at a broad readership including chemists, engineers, materials scientists and physicists.

• Although published in 1969, Malvern's book [Mal69] continues to be considered the classic text in the field. It is not the best organized of books, but it is thorough and correct. It will be found on most continuum mechanicians' book shelves.
