From the reviews: "The book has the merit to cover in a reasonable volume a wide range of topics which are the basics of aerothermodynamics. ... For teaching and self-study purposes, problems are given at the end of many chapters. ... the author has much experience in teaching. The result is a valuable book that is recommended to people technically interested in the field of high-speed flows, including graduate or doctoral students and engineers."
