Recently, a new carnival called The Giant's Shoulders has been started and the first edition of the same is out at A blog around the clock. A post of mine on the elastic stresses due to inclusions and inhomogeneities made it to the carnival. I am cross-posting the piece here since it might also be of interest to the readers of iMechanica (though I did post a short note earlier here which forms the core of this long post too).

Perhaps a post has already been made in this regard; A book containing all the papers by J.D. Eshelby was recently released by Springer. This book is compiled by Markenscoff and Gupta. Congratulations to both of them for such a great idea!

I bought this book last week and it is fascinating to read all of Eshelby's papers in chronological order. Furthermore, I found a few papers that I had not even been aware of. The price, at roughly $195 on Amazon is a bit steep but (in my opinion) well worth it. The book also contains forewords by several researcher who knew Eshelby personally.

Here is the amazon link to this book
