Schematics of the testing apparatus appropriate to each regime is particularly useful, as is the summary of applications and limitations of the early and recently developed experimental methods. The bibliography is notably comprehensive, consisting of on the order of 500 full references … In conclusion, the book Ultracondensed Matter by Dynamic Compression is strongly recommended as a reference work for researchers and students involved in the study of the high-pressure response of condensed matter. Summaries of experimental methods, an interesting and informative history of the field, and focused discussion on applications to metallic hydrogen are prominent and unique contributions of this book.'

Readers can now gain an intuitive understanding of dynamic compression; clear and authoritative chapters examine its history and experimental method, as well as key topics including dynamic compression of liquid hydrogen, rare gas fluids and shock-induced opacity. Through an up-to-date history of dynamic compression research, Nellis also clearly shows how dynamic compression addresses and will continue to address major unanswered questions across the scientific disciplines. The past and future role of dynamic compression in studying and making materials at extreme conditions of pressure, density and temperature is made clear, and the means of doing so are explained in practical language perfectly suited for researchers and graduate students alike.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgments\u003cbr\u003e 1.
