From the reviews:
"In the monograph under review, designed as a textbook for graduate students, the author aims to build up the theory in a straightforward way in view of physical applications. The material covered in the book was used in a two-semester course for graduate students. The book is a good summary of the most important facts of the theory of evolution equations, and is also a good source of information for researchers looking for new applications of this theory." (András Bátkai, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2008 h)
"This well-written work is the outgrowth of a two-semester course on linear semigroup methods, linear and quasi-linear hyperbolic systems of partial differential equations, and the abstract theory of evolution equations . Although the text was written for truly advanced graduate students, it contains a wealth of well presented results on semigroup theory of evolution equations and will therefore serve as a valuable resource for researchers in mathematics and theoretical physics as well."
