In the last decade and, in particular in recent years, the macroscopic porous media theory has made decisive progress concerning the fundamentals of the theory and the development of mathematical models in various fields of engineering and biomechanics. This progress attracted some attention and therefore conferences devoted almost exlusively to the macrosopic porous media theory have been organized in order to collect all findings, to present new results, and to discuss new trends. Also in national and international journals a great number of important contributions have been published which has brought the porous media theory, in some parts, to a close. Therefore, the time seems to benbsp;ripe tonbsp;review the state of the art and to show new trends in the continuum mechanical treatment of saturated and unsaturated capillary and non-capillary porous solids.This book addresses post-graduate students, scientists, working in engineering, physics and mathematicians. It provides an outline of modern theory of porous media and shows some trends in theory and in applications.nbsp;
