The book is targeted towards advanced undergraduate students in engineering sciences, graduate students and practitioners. The volume provides a single source of up-to-date information on the photomechanics methods in use. It presents in the form of state-of-the-art reviews the current state of knowledge with emphasis on the emerging lines of research in the field.

The text is amply illustrated, extended references for each chapter, also available online via LINK
