From the reviews: "This book ... welcomed as a valuable addition to the critical literature on the history of science in fluid mechanics. ... book in summary presents a valuable study on the early history of fluid mechanics as a scientific discipline. ... Thus it is helpful to those with historical interest as well as those who seek a deeper physical understanding of the origins of fluid mechanics. ... The style is precise and clear, requiring a basic knowledge in calculus and analysis." (Horst Nowacki, Theoria, Vol. 69, 2010)
