The book shows how the formidable developments that blossomed in the twentieth century (and perused in a previous book of the author in the same Springer Series: “Continuum Mechanics through the Twentieth Century”, Springer 2013) found rich compost in the constructive foundational achievements of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

From the book reviews: "In this very interesting book, the author analyzes the significant contributions of different European scientists to the field of continuum mechanics, starting from John Bernoulli in the 18th century to Hellinger at the beginning of the 20th century. ... the author ensures the possibility to different possible readers, specialists or non-specialists of this field, to be acquainted with the progress of scientific ideas along the past centuries."
