Recenzje

From the reviews:

"The author, Professor Himanshu Patel, has made a long study and researched the topic for most of this period. ... this book is aimed at undergraduates and postgraduates working on smell technology. ... the book is an excellent and up-to-date review of this relatively new discipline. The references at the end of each chapter are comprehensive, and I recommend it to researchers and interested physics students." (Angela Newing, SCOPE, Vol. 23 (1), March, 2014)
