"...a valuable addition to any technical library...concisely covers five books? worth of material in two handy volumes..." (Polymer News) "Readers will appreciate...this two-volume, practically oriented reference..." (SciTech Book News, Vol. 26, No. 2, June 2002)"...an excellent collection of topical reviews, both fundamental and applied, and is recommended to academic and industrial researchers alike."
