Product Description
A comprehensive textbook covering not only the ordinary theory of the deformation of solids, but also some topics not usually found in textbooks on the subject, such as thermal conduction and viscosity in solids.

Timoshenko's book is a collection of exercises. Landau's book is a collection of ideas.
A CONCISE AND ELEGANT BOOK ON ELASTICITY July 23, 1998

This is the Volume 7 of the famous Course of Theoretical Physics by L. D. Landau and E. M. Lifshitz. All serious students of theoretical physics must possess the ten volumes of this excellent Course, which cover in detail and rigour practically all the branches of theoretical physics. The Volume 7 treats the subject of the mechanics of deformable bodies. Unlike the major part of other similar books, the Volume 7 is concise and very elegant, and is at the same time detailed in the exposition of the basic elasticity theory. Moreover, it contains certain topics not usually found in other similar books, such as the theory of thermal conduction and viscosity of solids, and a detailed exposition of the fundamentals of the mechanics of liquid crystals. A highly recommended book!
difficult to rate a book I have not yet received! June 24, 2008
Smadja (Lyon, France)
I would have been happy to review this book, but unluckily I have not yet received it (the initial order dates from 24/03/08; the second has been given on the 05/24/08).I thank you for your kind interest in my judgment, and hope I shall have in the future the opportunity to share my views with others customers. Let me remind you that the money has very quickly been taken from my bank account. Theory of Elasticity, Third Edition: Volume 7 (Theoretical Physics, Vol 7)
Sure... not Timoshenko. June 28, 2000

Timoshenko is a Russian genious scientist/engineer who has credits in theory of elasticity and vibration analysis. Landau is a great physics educator in general but not an expert of elasticity. If you compare any elasticity book with Timoshenko's you will sure be very disappointed. Anyway I think this book is still fairly well written.
 Bad print for an otherwise good textbook. October 20, 1999

The book is a classic in the field; it's well written and clear, with interesting problems. However, the Publisher chose very tiny fonts, sometimes lacking in toner. Overall they did a terrible print, hard to read!
