The book was written for those with no prior knowledge of rheology as well as for those who wish to refresh or update their current knowledge. The book is an excellent textbook or handbook and covers the following topics: flow behavior and viscosity; rotational tests; elastic behavior and shear modulus; viscoelastic behavior; creep test; relaxation test; oscillatory tests; measuring systems; and instruments. Also included are an appendix of conversion tables, symbols and the Greek alphabet; an excellent reference section and a section on the historical development of rheology.
