Good continuum mechanics book.

AI Thread Summary
For those seeking in-depth resources on continuum mechanics and classic gauge theory, several key recommendations emerged. A foundational text is Segel's book, which serves as a solid introduction. For a more advanced understanding, Marsden and Hughes' work is suggested as a valuable next step. Additionally, Truesdell's contributions in the Encyclopedia of Physics are highly regarded and considered hard to surpass for comprehensive coverage of the subject. These texts collectively provide a robust framework for studying continuum mechanics and gauge theory.

Hi I'm looking for a good, in depth book on continuum mechanics and classic gauge theory. Can you suggest something?

What I know about the subject is the chapter in Goldstein's classical mechanics.

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
