From the reviews:

„There is an up-to-date wealth of information given on breakdown of liquids, and it is well written and, as such, easy to follow. … This text would be of general interest to many of our readers but especially for those who work in the pulsed-power field or those who use liquid dielectrics for either research or applications under impulse breakdown conditions. … If you are interested in this area of research, this book is worth a look.“ (IEEE Electrical Insulation, Vol. 24 (1), 2008)

„This book describes in detail the physics and optical phenomena in the pulsed electric breakdown of liquids and gas phases in liquids. … The physical discharge ignition mechanism should be of great interest for every potential reader. The book would benefit greatly from a subject index. … I would highly recommend it to professionals who are involved with power systems.“ (Axel Mainzer Koenig, Optics and Photonics News, January, 2009)
