The first systematic account of the theory and modelling of rotating fluids in half a century, recommended for researchers and postgraduate students in fields of atmospheres, oceanography, geophysics, astrophysics and engineering. It unifies three traditionally separated topics in rotating fluids: thermal convection, inertial waves, and precession-driven flow.

Keke Zhang, Professor of Geophysical and Astrophysical Fluid Dynamics at the University of Exeter, obtained his B.Sc. in 1982 from Nanjing University, China, his M.Sc. in 1985 and his Ph.D. in 1987 from the University of California, Los Angeles. He is a Fellow of both the American Geophysical Union and the Royal Astronomical Society. Professor Zhang has authored over 180 publications in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
