This book presents a rigorous and unified treatment of generalized continuum theory and its applications to gravitation, electromagnetism, and cosmology. The text emphasizes the role of covariance and conservation laws in generalized continua, exploring symmetries, gauge invariance, and the variational principles that underpin gravitation and electromagnetism. Concepts such as torsion, curvature, and Riemann-Cartan manifolds are treated in depth, providing the foundation for modeling complex spacetime structures and the behavior of fields within them.
