Polymer scientists must have both volumes,

This review is from: Polymeric Liquids & Networks: Dynamics and Rheology (Hardcover)
I am surprised to be the first person to review this book. Actually, please consider this a review of both volumes: 1) Structure and Properties, and 2) Dynamics and Rheology. I will not write chapter titles in this review since one can easily find these at the publisher's website (Garland Science). Let me summarize by saying that the books reflect Dr. Graessley's habit of being a pragmatic, grounded scientist. Theories are explained not only thoroughly, but thoughtfully, and with skepticism and proper bounds on the usefulness when warranted. A theory is rarely, if ever, presented without a healthy comparison to experimental data; there is more experimental data per lesson in these companion volumes than in any other polymer science text of which I am aware. In the 1300 or so pages of these two volumes, the reader will find a methodical trip through years of polymer physics, leading up to the current time. After 20 years of going to other (great) polymer science books first when I have a question, these texts have now become my go-to source.
