5.		Concepts in Thermal Physics from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $49.50 Customer Review: The advantage of the text is that its an easy read. The chapters are short, the mathematics is elementary (multi-variable calculus is the supremum of what one should know) and the concepts are readily available to one willing to stop and think (as opposed to one who wishes to be fed directly). more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.		Physics of Shock Waves and High-Temperature Hydrodynamic Phenomena from Dover Publications Price: $31.35 Customer Review: This book is a classic. I have used it for years.

7.		Hypersonic and High Temperature Gas Dynamics (AIAA Education) (Aiaa Education Series) from AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics & Ast Price: $72.76 Customer Review: Even though the expected date of arrival was 5 or 6 weeks ahead, it was shipped less than one week after the request and it arrived to Europe (from US) next week. So the total waiting time was 2 weeks instead of the 5 or 6 weeks it anticipated. I'm happy with he conditions the book arrived, so it... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.	[no image]	Thermodynamics, Kinetic Theory, and Statistical Thermodynamics (3rd Edition) (Addison-Wesley Principles of Physics Series) from Addison Wesley Price: $123.36 Customer Review: Overcomplicated. The entire book. I'm not just talking rigorous... A good example is the two page proof that the number of microstates in n particles, if each can range from 0 to q, whereas the sum of all must add up to q, is n + q - 1 CHOOSE q. This can be proved (just as formally) in about 3... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Statistical Mechanics: Entropy, Order Parameters and Complexity (Oxford Master Series in Physics) from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $48.46 Customer Review: This advanced undergraduate or introductory graduate level text on statistical mechanics is clearly written by a master and perhaps visionary teacher. Statistical mechanics remains, in my opinion, the only truly rigorous science of emergent phenomena. As the scientific community in general focuses... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		The Physics of Astrophysics Volume II: Gas Dynamics from University Science Books Price: $70.80 Customer Review: I was very dissapointed to see a rating on this book of only two little stars, so I've decided to express my opinion as well, for I believe this book deserves a much better qualification. The book gives an excellent overview in many of the most important aspects of the theory of gas dynamics as... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		The Properties of Gases and Liquids from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $90.72 Customer Review: If you are a chemical engineer and do not own this text, you will have a hard time.

28.	[no image]	Intake Aerodynamics (Aiaa Education Series) from AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics & Ast Price: $84.95 Customer Review: One of the most extensive volume devoted to the subject.The book is very rigorous, the mathematical level is well set out, being simple, advanced enough and limited to analysis aspects only. Quite impressive to me is the wide use of sketches, graphes and diagrams; they give a clear frame of physical... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


29.		This book really sucks! from Planet Dexter Customer Review: This book has everything that appeals to boys: cool pictures, disgusting and strange trivia, it (really) sucks, and it uses the word suck a whole lot! In reality, it is a great non-fiction book on the science of things that "suck," like vacuums, suction cups, gravity, and even France's poop-sucking... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
