“This multiauthored book describes the physics, materials response, engineering principles, and clinical impact of blast injury. … Basic scientists, materials specialists, clinical investigators, and clinicians treating victims of blast injury are an appropriate audience for this book from medical, engineering, military, and law enforcement agencies all based in the U.K. … Engineers will appreciate the mathematics of explosion force, while clinicians will find helpful reviews of physics and incident modeling.” (David J. Dries, Doody's Book Reviews, September, 2017)
