Best All Around Practical Rheology Reference Book

Macosko has put together without a doubt the best practical rheology reference and the only one to include sufficient detail on rheometers. A bit heavy on the constitutive equations and tensors but you'll not be at a loss if you don't follow them. If you had the ability to purchase but one rheology reference, this should be it.

Excellent reference book

MacOsko has written an excellent *reference* book; don't pick this up as your first foray into the field of rheology. (I recommend Stephen Rosen's text for that job.) MacOsko provides a relatively pain-free introduction to tensors and then proceeds to apply tensor analysis to a variety of rheological topics. If your work doesn't require rigorous tensor analysis, or if you're new to the field, avoid the book. Otherwise it's a very comprehensive and readable reference.
