Abstract
RHEOLOGY probably owes much of its appeal to the fact that it has not yet developed into a fully established science with a generally accepted subject-matter and method of treatment. The study of the "flow and deformation of matter" might include almost anything in Nature, and indeed there are few industries in Which problems essentially rheological in character do not arise. These problems frequently have to be attacked by chemists, physicists or engineers whose training has provided them with only a very meagre basis on which to work, and the appearance of two books on rheology by two of the best-known pioneers in this field will be especially welcome to them.
