5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic book, November 15, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Handbook of Porous Media (Hardcover)
This is a superb in-depth treatment of transport through porous media. All the perinent fundamental issues and practical applications have been presented in depth. Overall a must buy for all those doing reseach in the porous media area.
