Reviews
Overall, an excellent work that will stimulate creative and interdisciplinary thinking -- Choice ...it fills and important niche in giving a comprehensive coverage of geologically relevant fluid physics. I would recommend it as a well-structured, adequately rigorous text for an extremely useful course in geological fluid mechanics. --David Bercovici, GSA Today ...a well-written and truly readable text for the majority of hydrogeologists with a minimum math background.... It is unique in its comprehensive and systematic treatment of fluid flow concepts at an alluring introductory level. The book clearly holds promise of becoming a popular and lasting text for years to come. --Jean Bahr, Ground Water A quantitative, rigorous introduction to the role of fluids in the geological sciences. Long overdue! --Michael E.

All chapters are clearly written, and well illustrated and referenced. The discussed Example Problems certainly are very inspiring and will be useful for the geological community, especially those interested in modelling. I also recommend this book as a text-book for student seminars
