Textbooks
- matematika.cuni.cz - the site contains various mathematical materials related to courses taught at the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at Charles University in Prague
- Advanced Experimental Techniques in Geomechanics (ALERT Doctoral School 2012)
- Here is the complete set of lecture notes: File:ALERT school 2012.pdf
- It is also possible to download some of the presentations.
- List of lecture notes on various topics in mechanics at imechanica.org
Journal papers
- Special issue of the International Journal of Fracture entitled Computational Modeling of Fracture and Failure: From the Material to the Structure (published in November 2012) contains 18 original research papers based on presentations at CFRAC 2011 in Barcelona.
Writing guides
- W. Strunk: Elements of Style, Filiquarian Publishing, 2007
- Short, clear and self-contained book on clear writing. Highly recommended!
- San Francisco Edit Newsletters
- Helpful hints and suggestions on writing scientific papers.
