"It is really very fortunate that Hans Christian Öttinger…one of the prominent researchers in the field…[has] produced the present book. I am convinced that it will be of use for many readers and will have a big impact on future developments in the field." (Applied Rheology, Volume 15, Issue 2, 2005)
