Physics of Continuous Media: A collection of problems with solutions for physics students

"Most books containing sets of problems with detailed solutions probably do not get reviewed - a situation which is in keeping with the albeit useful, but uninspired content of the majority. Such books are typically bought by students who are attempting to bolster their confidence or patch over weaknesses, and by overworked lecturers who either need new class material or must replace old stock to which the student entrepreneurs literally have all the answers.
