'It is a pleasure to read the book. Equations, of which there are many, are carefully composed and easily deciphered. The text is well written and comprehensible, covering an immense amount of material. Advanced students of physics, mathematics and, probably, engineering, will find this book useful.' Henrik Jeldtoft Jensen, Times Higher Education Supplement 'This excellent book systematically develops lattice gas theory, starting from the microscopic evolution equations and properties of the underlying lattice ... For graduate students entering into the subject area of lattice gases or related methods this book would be an excellent starting point. But also for experts in related fields of fluid dynamics and statistical physics will this book serve as a very good introduction.' Eirik G. Flekkoy, European Journal of Mechanical B-Fluids '... this book is certainly an excellent introduction to the physics of lattice gas automata and to the hydrodynamic flows that take place in them.' Journal of Statistical Physics '... it may serve as a useful review of the attempts in the last fifteen years, 1986 to present, to apply cellular automata to simulate fluid dynamics.'
