'The authors are to be commended for their effect and success in presenting the intricate details of a highly interdisciplinary and complex subject to nonspecialists. The publisher has done a superb job of printing and reproducing illustrations. The table of contents and the subject index are well prepared. The hard cover binding is impressive. Fundamental aspects of Combustion is recommended for adaptation as a supplementary text for a first-level graduate course in combustion or as an introductory guide for those interested in theoretical research in combustion science.'
