From the reviews:“The present book presents a concise and solid introduction to the graphical methods in the theory of angular momentum. … Each of the diagrams is completed with an explanatory caption that summarises its main features. … this book provides an excellent opportunity to self-study and exploration in angular momentum theory that goes beyond the standard books on the topic. … it represents a highly interesting complement to the theory, which can be further used to discover or derive new relations undetected until now.” (Rutwig Campoamor-Stursberg, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1187, 2010)“The present book is intended as a reader-friendly introduction into this area. … It contains a historical background, motivation for writing the book and a brief summary of its contents, and some remarks on applications of the graphical theory, including references to the most important works in this area. … It should also be added that the diagrams, which play such a prominent role in the book, were prepared with the help of the PSTricks package and look really nice.”­­­ (Wojciech Lisiecki, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2011 d)
