Abstract

Monographs for Students By A. Dinsdale and F. Moore London: Chapman and Hall Ltd. 1962. Pp. v + 67. Price 7s. 6d. This recent addition to the series of Monographs for Students published on behalf of The Institute of Physics and The Physical Society is welcome not only because it gives a clear and concise account of viscosity and viscometers but also because it gives an up-to-date description of practice for students of a subject only previously dealt with in a few specialist monographs or in an academic fashion in textbooks on properties of matter. A short introductory chapter is concerned with fundamentals and definitions, including useful accounts of Newtonian and non-Newtonian behaviour and of thixotropy.
