'they have produced an excellent postgraduate textbook of the subject of nuclear density functional theory writ large ... The writing style is clear and authoritative, and the book will certainly repay careful study. I recommend this book both for its broad scope and for the ease with which it introduces a wide area of modern research to a reader with only a rudimentary knowledge of conventional nuclear many-body theory.'Professor R.F. Bishop (UMIST), Contemporary Physics, Volume 33, Number 1, January/February 1992
