[Jim · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is only a vague memory, but I remember reading it and using it for reference material when I was doing a paper, or perhaps mt thesis at South Florida, so I am adding it to my "read" pile. I read quite a few, bu it was well before my GR days, so gradually I recall and amend my lists.
