Reviews

The book presents a highly detailed discussion of the idea, which has clearly been a long-term research interest of the author. ... The book will therefore be very interesting to specialists in the field, and it contains a wealth of detail, diagrams, many examples of computer simulations, and many references. ... The detailed Glossary will be helpful for the non-specialist reader. (Richard McKim, The Observatory, Vol. 136 (1250), February, 2016)
