dear Friends and Colleagues
I have been invited to write a review, actually a "Perspective" paper on Contact Mechanics from my personal point of view, which obviously reflects my own experience in my nearly 30 years of research activities. This is a sort of "celebration" therefore, and I would like to make it as simple, complete, and elegant and useful as possible.
Any comment therefore on this preprint would be greatly appreciated.

Abstract
It is my pleasure to solicit nominations for the "Eshelby Mechanics Award for Young Faculty". This award, launched in 2012, is given annually to rapidly emerging junior faculty who exemplify the creative use and development of mechanics. The intent of the award is to promote the field of mechanics, especially among young researchers. While interdisciplinary work that bridges mechanics with physics, chemistry, biology, and other disciplines is encouraged, the ideal awardee will demonstrate clear inspiration from mechanics in his/her research.
