This pioneering book presents the basic theory, experimental methods, experimental results and solution of boundary value problems in a readable, useful way to designers as well as research workers and students. The mathematical background required has been kept to a minimum and supplemented by explanations where it has been necessary to introduce specialized mathematics. Also, appendices have been included to provide sufficient background in Laplace transforms and in step functions.
Chapters 1 and 2 contain an introduction and historic review of creep. As an aid to the reader a background on stress, strain, and stress analysis is provided in Chapters 3 and 4, an introduction to linear viscoelasticity is found in Chapter 5 and linear viscoelastic stress analysis in Chapter 6. In the next six chapters the multiple integral representation of nonlinear creep and relaxation, and simplifications to single integral forms and incompressibility, are examined at length. After a consideration of other representations, general relations are derived, then expanded to components of stress or strain for special cases. Both constant stress (or strain) and variable states are described, together with methods of determining material constants. Conversion from creep to relaxation, effects of temperature and stress analysis problems in nonlinear materials are also treated here.
Finally, Chapter 13 discusses experimental methods for creep and stress relaxation under combined stress. This chapter considers especially those experimental problems which must be solved properly when reliable experimental results of high precision are required. Six appendices present the necessary mathematical background, conversion tables, and more rigorous derivations than employed in the text. An extensive updated bibliography completes the book.

This is an excellent reminder in this time of overly managed care
Jean Watson has really articulated what nursing is about. She describes her theory of caring very clearly. She has reawakened my passion for nursing. She really challenges nurses to reflect on their individual interactions with patient. This is an excellent reminder in this time of overly managed care, where there is so much pressure to accomplish tasks and forget about "caring" for the patient. I do not agree with the more New Age aspects of the theory, but the main premise, which is "caring" is very powerful. Jean Watson is a treasure.

The value of caring in Nursing for yesterday , today and tomorrow
Jean Watson is not only a top Nursing Theorist but her writing illuminates the way forward for humanity as well through caring about each other as individuals and uniting our cultures in love and caring as a whole. This being a seminal work on Nursing as Caring has an updated version of her brilliant thesis. Her steps are now Caritas processes and can be utilised to guide everyday nursing in any domain. Palliative Nurses would be able to glean plenty from Jean's amazing work which lives on internationally
