Recenzje

` The most outstanding feature of this book is the clear, rigorous, and comprehensive presentation of Vistelius' concept of what mathematical geology is and where it should be heading in the future. It summarizes more than fifty years of experience, work, and understanding. ... this book should be mandatory reading for all those interested and working in mathematical geology because it presents much food for thought.
