This is a good book, but it is written very much like a really long paper, rather than a book for teaching a subject to someone new in a field. 150 of the 640 pages are references (23% of the book!); it seems like they cited every paper ever published in the field.

This book provide a good review of literatura, and a discussion about main concepts of porous media.

Nield has the best understanding of porous media analysis. He is a prolofic writer and contributor to the field and is most qualified to write this comprehensive text.

This is the best reference book available on Convection in Porous Media. It features the wide variety of topics that are encountered in this filed. The basic phenomena are well described and good references to state of the art research are being cited. A very easy to follow text and derivations make the reading a pleasure, but the book serves mainly as an excellent reference. Anyone who works in fluid mechanics and heat transfer in porous media should have a copy of this book.
