1.	[no image]	The Illustrated Guide to Aerodynamics from TAB Books Customer Review: I want to know more about flying and how planes work and found little that could explain it so I can understand, until I found this book. Not only does the author give excellent details about flying, he uses a step by step approach to cover areas like lift, drag, airplane and wing design, and more.... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		Gas Dynamics (3rd Edition) from Prentice Hall Price: $137.28 Customer Review: This text is an excellent supplement to a course in compressible flows. It is a bit simplistic with respect to the example problems given; the text itself is a VERY easy read. The concepts are clearly explained, and the material is divided in a very logical, straightforward manner. Would definitely... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Thermodynamics, Kinetic Theory, and Statistical Thermodynamics (3rd Edition) from Addison Wesley Price: $301.68 Customer Review: "Thermodynamics, Kinetic Theory, and Statistical Thermodynamics (3rd Edition)" is an excellent text to learn the fundamentals.

7.		Physics of Shock Waves and High-Temperature Hydrodynamic Phenomena from Dover Publications Price: $23.28 Customer Review: I've wasted many credit hours taking physics courses all the way up through grad school and never learned a damned thing! This book reignited my interest in physics. It explains how to think about the physics and what things mean as opposed to the typical nonsense of here's the equation and the... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Hypersonic and High Temperature Gas Dynamics (AIAA Education) (Aiaa Education Series) from AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics & Ast Price: $78.00 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

10.		Introduction to plasma physics and controlled fusion. Volume 1, Plasma physics from Springer Price: $67.99 Customer Review: Good solid introduction to plasma physics. Fairly general introduction geared towards advanced undergraduates and grad students. There are better books which concentrate on applications, both of which I own. Sturrock for geophysical and earth plasma physics and Kulsrud for astrophysics.	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

12.		The Lattice Boltzmann Equation for Fluid Dynamics and Beyond (Numerical Mathematics and Scientific Computation) from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $128.71 Customer Review: This is essentially the first book fully dedicated to the lattice Boltzmann method (LB). The author did a great job in providing the necessary history of lattice Boltzmann, from Lattice Gas Cellular Automaton, its subsequent development, and deployments to multiphase, supersonic, microfluidics, etc... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		Bella Mafia from Macmillan Audio Books Price: $58.50 Customer Review: Having read this book 13 times now I am still totally captivated by it.

14.		The Physics of Astrophysics Volume II: Gas Dynamics from University Science Books Price: $88.50 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: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		Bose-Einstein Condensation in Dilute Gases from Cambridge University Press Price: $40.00 Customer Review: Of the three main books on laser cooling and BEC that are on the market right now (Laser Cooling by Metcalf and Atom Optics by Meystre) this one is by far the best. There are a lot of details here, but unfortunately a lot more are still left out. Chapter 8, and sections 11.3, and 14.3 in particular... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

17.		Spark Discharge from CRC-Press Price: $51.07 Customer Review: This book is not for begninners, but for someone who already knows the basic stuff. The material is presented in a very ad-hoc manner. The chapters and subsections do not follow the standard "say what you are going to say - say - and say what you said" format. New concepts are thrown at you with no... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		The Physics of Astrophysics Volume I: Radiation from University Science Books Price: $81.11 Customer Review: When I had this book for a class in graduate school, I found that it never really helped me with any of the problems, and in general did not describe the topics well at all. I would recommend sticking to Rybicki and Lightman for a much better exposition.	Customer Rating: 2.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

The only slight criticisms are that my copy did not include the promised computer disk, that often the descriptions of what the code... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


23.		Bose-Einstein Condensation (The International Series of Monographs on Physics) from Oxford University Press, USA Price: $106.35 Customer Review: This is not an easy book to read. It starts off with field theory and assumes a lot of knowledge, especially from Landau's books on fluid mechanics and statistical physics. The format of the writing is concise, almost journal publication style. Chapter 14 on angular momentum and vortices is very... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
