Recensione

'This book is an important contribution from a stable with a distinguished reputation and an impressive publications record ... The text is lucid in style, and there is a useful section on notation and mathematical jargon that will be welcome to many readers. The book is highly recommended to anyone working in or embarking on research in this field.' R. H. Barnard, The Aeronautical Journal

'... exceptionally clearly laid out ... in an exemplary writing style that belies the great difficulty of the task being attempted.' Robert Matthews, New Scientist

'... a worthwhile introduction to an important direction for understanding turbulence.' Howell Peregrine, Mathematics Today

'For those who are willing to take time to study this work be they an expert or just an interested bystander, the effort into this book makes for stimulating reading.' N. C. Freeman, University of Newcastle

'The book is highly recommended to anyone working in or embarking on research in this field.' R. H. Barnard, The Aeronautical Journal

'Despite its formidable mathematical content, this book is written in a rather appealing 'racy' style. I believe that it will stimulate research and lead to a deeper understanding in a number of fields.' Michael J. Rycroft, Journal of Atmospheric and Solar - Terrestrial Physics

'I can certainly recommend the book to anyone interested in modern turbulence research, especially those concerned with new ideas about the control and modification of turbulence near walls.' Journal of Fluid Mechanics

' ... will certainly interest engineers and applied mathematicians concerned with fluid and gas dynamics and can also be useful for a more general audience of postgraduate students and scientists working in nonlinear dynamics. The price of the paperback edition is affordable enough to recommend this book for personal collections.' Contemporary Physics
