Reviews

From the reviews: The subtitle correctly identifies this two volume (1000 pages) book as a very complete and valuable resource for physicists working in this domain of cosmic-ray physics. ... These two volumes provide an excellent resource for understanding all of the relevant consequences ... . This two-volume book certainly merits acquisition by groups working actively on air showers, the installations, data analysis, and physics interpretation. I am sure that it will prove to be an invaluable resource in this lively area of astroparticle physics. (Lawrence Jones, CERN Courier, Vol. 50 (7), September, 2010)
