There are few comprehensive books on the market on the subject of
Rheology -- the complex science dealing with flow and deformation
of matter -- and these are several years old. At least now there is
a book that explains the meaning of a science that many scientists
need to use but only a few can fully grasp. It does so by striking
the balance between oversimplification and overload of theory in a
very compelling and readable manner. The authors' systematic
presentation enables the authors to include all components of
Rheology in one volume. The first four chapters of this book
discuss various aspects of theoretical Rheology and, by examples of
many studies, show how particular theory, model, or equation can be
used in solving different problems. The main emphasis is on
liquids, but solid materials are discussed in one full chapter as
well.

Methods of measurement and raw data treatment are included in one
large chapter which constitutes more than one quarter of the book.
Eight groups of methods are discussed giving many choices for
experimentation and guidance on where and how to use them properly.
The final chapter shows how to use rheological methods in different
groups of products and methods of their manufacture. Usefulness of
chemorheological (rheokinetical) measurements is also emphasized.
This chapter continues with examples of purposeful applications in
practical matters.
