=== ''Mechanics of deformable bodies'' ===
'''''Mechanics of deformable bodies''''', the second volume of the series, was published in English in 1950 by [[Academic Press]]. The book was translated from the German volume '''''Mechanik der deformierbaren Medien''''' by G. Kuerti. The volume was reviewed by [[Rudolf Peierls]].<ref name=PeierlsMulti>{{Cite journal|last=Peierls|first=R. E.|author-link=Rudolf Peierls|date=November 1951|title=Lectures on Theoretical Physics|url=https://www.nature.com/articles/168887a0|journal=Nature|language=en|volume=168|issue=4282|pages=887|doi=10.1038/168887a0|bibcode=1951Natur.168Q.887P|s2cid=4154078|issn=1476-4687}}</ref> The second volume covers topics including [[hydrodynamics]] and [[Elasticity (physics)|elasticity]], which are discussed together, as well as more advanced topics like [[supersonic flow]] and [[shock wave]]s. In his review, Peierls argued that covering hydrodynamics and elastics together allowed for the "general principles" to "be treated in a concise and transparent way".<ref name=PeierlsMulti /> Peierls went on to note that it emphasizes physical principles even to the detriment of its treatment of mathematical techniques.<ref name=PeierlsMulti /> At the end of his review of several of four of the book's volumes, Peierls closed by saying: "To me these volumes represent an almost perfect choice of topics for a basic course on theoretical physics".<ref name=PeierlsMulti />
