Editorial Reviews

...This book leads you through the subject in a very logical fashion...Repetition of basic concepts has been kept to a minimum and the focus on the topic remains strong throughout... "...More than just a loose collection of articles, this book is a good working-knowledge tool...the clear organization of individual articles, makes this the most useful book on rheology that I have come across.

Cosmetics and Toiletries

One underlying theme of this comprehensive review of flow characteristics is demystification of rheology so that people in the cosmetics and toiletries industries can understand their product's behavior and not think that only a rheology specialist is qualified to do so. Coverage includes a general introduction and discussion of instrumentation and additives, followed by product chapters on nails, antiperspirants, teeth, hair, and creams and lotions. Concluding chapters cover stability in rheologically modified systems and rheological profiles. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
