Summary
“Kinetic Theory of Granular Gases” provides an introduction to the rapidly developing theory of dissipative gas dynamics - a theory which has mainly evolved over the last decade. The book is aimed at readers from the advanced undergraduate level upwards and leads on to the present state of research. Throughout, special emphasis is put on a microscopically consistent description of pairwise particle collisions which leads to an impact-velocity-dependent coefficientof restitution. The descripti…

Critics Review
Kinetic Theory of Granular Gases is an admirable contribution by two experts of this rapidly evolving field. In addition to technical details, it provides important insights that are essential for graduate students thinking about the similarities and differences between normal and granular gases. The book fills a significant gap, and I expect it will be adopted for graduate courses in both physics and engineering programs.'James W. Duffy, Physics TodayThis appears to be the first introductory text in the rapidly growing field of the kinetic theory of granular materials, a subject with wide ranging applications in physics, astronomy, engineering, and chemistry….No mathematical knowledge is required beyond standard undergraduate level and the book is well adapted for use in graduate courses on kinetic theory, since it includes a broad range of exercises throughout the book’Journal of Statistical Physics, March 2005
