Academic Press, London and New York, 1967, 377 pp.
In August, 1965, a NATO Advanced Study Institute, sponsored by the NATO Science Committee, was held on the campus of the Middle East Technical University in Ankara, Turkey. The topic of the Institute was "Transport Theory". Its major objective was to unite various disciplines which employ similar mathematical methods and to study the similarity as well as the differences among these disciplines. It was felt that this might provide a beginning to better communication among workers in different areas of physics which involve linear transport equations—e.g. neutron transport theory, plasma physics, and radiative transfer. To this end, the six invited speakers (each of whom lectured either five or six hours during the two-week Institute) represented four different areas.
