Abstract
This chapter provides an introduction to the methods of the kinetic theory and to the scopes and contents of the present book, which deals with the development and application of Boltzmann type models in applied sciences. It is organized into three parts. First we deal with a description of the Boltzmann and mean-field models. Then, we discuss the common features of generalized kinetic models with reference to the original ones. The third part consists in a description of the contents of the chapters which follow this introductory one.
