Essays on the History of Mechanics - In Memory of Clifford Ambrose Truesdell and Edoardo Benvenuto (Paperback, Softcover reprint of the original 1st ed. 2003)

The history of mechanics, and more particularly, the history of mechanics applied to constructions, constitutes a field of research that is relatively recent. This volume, together with the recent publication "Towards a History of Construction," is intended as an homage to the two eminent scholars who made a determinant contribution to the history of mechanics: Edoardo Benvenuto and Clifford Truesdell.
