Reviews / Votes
"The historical treatment of the subject is, in my opinion, extremely interesting and at U.S. $100 the book is well worth reading."- SIAM Review
"The mathematics of explosions has spawned many original ideas in the theory of nonlinear partial differential equations, and this book shows that it remains a very fruitful topic of study and research."
