"The book aims to present a consistent theory of waves originating in hydrodynamics of incompressible and compressible fluids ... . The book includes many exercises. Solving specially marked key exercises is assumed to be an essential part of the reading." (Boris A. Malomed, zbMATH 1339.76001, 2016)
