A chapter in Crossroads: History of Science, History of Art, 2011, pp 101-115 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Allow me to recall that the young scientist formed at Caltech, who had won acclaim through a series of articles on special subjects, soon acquired extraordinary fame through his comprehensive Handbuch articles, the second of which was written with Walter Noll, where they reformulated the foundations of the mechanics of continua. The mechanics of continua, which before had appeared in all textbooks as a conglomerate, even a sand heap, of sometimes isolated subjects between which there was no connection, logical or mathematical, now became connected and unified by a powerful system of axioms as Hilbert had postulated at the beginning of the century.
