<br/><br/> "CISM Course given in Udine (Italy) from 23 to 27 September 1996, and titled 'Scaling Laws and Fractality in Continuum Mechanics'"--Pref 
<br/><br/> The book is characterized by the illustration of cases of fractal, self-similar and multi-scale structures taken from the mechanics of solid and porous materials, which have a technical interest. In addition, an accessible and self-consistent treatment of the mathematical technique of fractional calculus is provided, avoiding useless complications. 
<br/><br/> All.
