This is really a hard book, full of advanced jargon and only useful for upper graduate students and experts. Well, actually it's a bad point but this is not a problem about this book, it is about the developing science of nonlinear elasticity. I suppose the only problem of the book is its non-uniformity: it is written by 5 or more writers with different styles, backgrounds and even notations and symbols. The book starts with a great review by Ogden on principles of nonlinear elasticity, but ends with some paper-like materials which should have been organized in the form of a book.
