Good continuum mechanics book.

[fobos3]

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.

Of the Dover books, a good introduction is Segel's book:

Stepping up from that, I recommend Marsden and Houghes:

Otherwise, it's hard to beat Truesdell's books in the Encyclopedia of Physics:
