From the reviews of the first edition:
"In his fascinating book Spinning Flight, Ralph Lorenz provides a rich feast of … examples of spinning bodies …. The book is well organized …. The discussion in the book … should be accessible to readers with some elementary understanding of aerodynamic principles. For the expert, the book is full of open problems …. Its scope is extensive …. In this respect, there may be something for everyone within its attractively designed cover …." (H. K. Moffatt, Nature, Vol. 444, December, 2006)
"If you liked physics at school, then this book is for you. It concerns itself with flying objects that spin through the air, and even tells you how to impress your friends with the biomechanics of Frisbees. … there is plenty of information at all levels, and the book has a wealth of detail that only an aerospace engineer like Lorenz could have come up with." (Len Fisher, BBC Focus, February, 2007)
