'a comprehensive research level treatise on transport phenomena in
dilute gases'
J.N.L. Connor, Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical
Physics, 1992
'contains some of the most interesting and subtle developments in
the study of transport phenomena i.e. kinetic theory ... The book
is well written and contains an enormous amount of detailed
information for someone wishing to do research in the area of
transport phenomena in polyatomic gases. For the serious student of
transport processes it should ... be very valuable indeed. The text
and figures are well done and the book could not be considered
expensive by present day standards.'
Dr K. Burnett, University of Oxford, Contemporary Physics, 1992,
