| Abstract | The original Russian version of this little monograph was published in 1963, but the translation has been brought up to date by extensive additions, many of which describe the author’s own recent contributions. The emphasis throughout is on the physical and experimental aspects of the subject with a minimum of theory, and the discussion is largely limited to unsteady wave phenomena. The first half describes laboratory techniques and non-equilibrium effects and gives a good introductory survey which should prove useful to students and older newcomers alike. The second half deals with combustion and detonation wave phenomena and is rather different in character. Much space is devoted to very recent results, in particular those obtained by the author and his coworkers a t Novosibirsk. Some of this material is quite fascinating, not least because of the excellent photographs. The printing and reproduction is of high quality and the translation is adequate. The discussion of rarefaction wave on page 22 is difficult to follow and some confusion may be caused by the retention of the Russian notation (amM for atm) on the figures on page 4. The list of references is most valuable, containing some 200 items, more than half of which are of Russian origin. N. H. JOHANNESEN Corp., 1966. 176pp. $7.00. |
