Hi. This semester I have chosen "Properties of Matter" as my Physics Elective. The university syllabus generically prescribes texts by Newman & Searle to be studied in this regard but tbh I find them somewhat outdated.

Below I have attached a small snippet of my course syllabus. I shall be highly obliged if someone recommends a textbook to pursue in this regard in accordance with the course contents🙏🏻

This looks like a course on the foundations of continuum mechanics. I don't think that there are too many books you can call outdated. I don't know the mentioned books by Newman and Searle though.

I guess maybe the style of delivery is more of a grouse for me than the outdation part. Do you have any old/new recommendations pertaining to the course..
