Nonlinear mesoscopic elasticity (NME) is the identifier of a collection of extreme/unusual elastic behaviors. The purpose of this book is to describe these behaviors as seen in particular physical systems, to suggest generalization beyond the particular based on a simple picture of the underlying physics, and to provide an analysis/theoretical framework for assessment of behavior and for the description of experiments. The behaviors that are associated with NME are many; eight examples are shown. The physical state of NME systems is specified in a multidimensional space of parameters, for example, length scale, time scale, the size of stress/strain fields, the strength of internal forces, etc. The boundaries of this space are set. At the end of the following overview we will provide an outline of the book.
