It emphasizes the birth and growth of USNC\/TAM, the birth and growth of\r\nthe larger International Union of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (IUTAM),\r\nand explores the work of mechanics from Aristotle to the present. Written by\r\nthe former Secretary of USNC\/TAM, Dr. Carl T. Herakovich of the University of\r\nVirginia, the book profiles luminaries of mechanics including Galileo, Newton,\r\nBernoulli, Euler, Cauchy, Prandtl, Einstein, von Kármán, Timoshenko, and in so doing\r\nprovides insight into centuries of scientific and technologic advance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eDr. Carl T.
