Query: good only if you don't need it

If you are a researcher in transport phenomena, this book will make sense, but you won't need it. Unfortunately it is used for teaching graduate students. There are so many steps skipped and so many examples depend on derivations in other examples (without referring to them) that this book is nearly worthless for teaching purposes. The only good thing is that sometimes if you look in the bibliography you can find an example that makes sense.
