Classic papers in shock compression science
[The articles of this volume will not reviewed individually.] The middle of the nineteenth century was an especially active period in the field of shock compression science with the classic contributions of Riemann, Rankine, Hugoniot, and others. The one-hundredth anniversary of the publication of Hugoniot's classic paper on the propagation of discontinuous waves in gases has initiated a review of the life of Hugoniot by \textit{R. Chéret}. This contribution prompted an additional historical investigation involving the precursors of Hugoniot. Of course, this involves the works of Poisson, Stokes, Earnshaw, Riemann, Rankine, Lord Rayleigh, and Taylor. The contributions of Riemann and Poisson were originally published in German and French, respectively. Additionally, the editors include in the book the valuable contributions by Bethe on the theory of shock waves for an arbitrary equation of state, published in a report not generally available, and Weyl's classical paper about the same material. It becomes reasonable to collect all these papers in English, into one volume. Other modern works, easily found in most scientific libraries, have been omitted. Every paper is preceded by a photo and biography of the author(s). This book is a valuable tool for studying the genesis of shock compression science.
