Stress and Strain: Basic Concepts of Continuum Mechanics for Geologists

The book is a trade paperback showing noticeable wear, particularly along the edges and corners, with some creasing and chipping visible on the cover. The spine is intact, though it exhibits signs of handling. There is no dust jacket, which is typical for this format. The interior pages appear clean and free from inscriptions or library markings.

Stress and Strain: Basic Concepts of Continuum Mechanics for Geologists by W. D. Means is a vital resource for geologists seeking to understand the fundamental principles of continuum mechanics. Published by Springer-Verlag in 1979, this edition is the second, corrected printing, offering refined insights into rock deformation and mechanics. The book is a trade paperback, as indicated by the visible wear on its cover. Means, a notable figure in geological sciences, provides a comprehensive exploration of stress and strain, crucial for both academic study and practical application in geology. This edition is particularly valuable for its corrections and updates from the original 1976 publication. The book is out of print and may be scarce in this specific edition, making it a significant addition for collectors and professionals alike. The physical condition suggests it has been well-used, reflecting its practical application in the field.
