1.		The Insulin-Resistance Diet--Revised and Updated from McGraw-Hill Customer Review: So far an informative and easy to understand book. I have not completed yet, but have started following the suggestions the book offers with success. I think it is a worthy read and helpful if you suffer from insulin resistance.

2.		Neonatology: Management, Procedures, On-Call Problems, Diseases, and Drugs, Sixth Edition (LANGE Clinical Science) from McGraw-Hill Professional Price: $43.99 Customer Review: Gomella has long been a standard reference for anyone, including neonatologists, who work with infants. The book itself is an incredible resource. I would get the hard copy. The ebook I purchased for my iPad is indexed but has no page numbers, and no way to search the book. The only way to access... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.		Engineering Fluid Mechanics from John Wiley & Sons Price: $29.98 Customer Review: I had to buy this book for a course in fluid mechanics last semester, which turned out to be one of my favorite courses. That was due mainly to the fact that I had an amazing professor, but it was largely supported by the ease of use of this book. Reference sheets were quick and easy to use, and... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.	[no image]	Introduction to Fluid Mechanics from John Wiley & Sons Customer Review: This book is actually fairly good. There is not a great conversion factor chart in either the back or the front of the book so I copied one from my Thermodynamics book and taped it in the back and it works just fine. Every chapter has a detailed example for every type of problem and goes through the... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		The Dock Manual: Designing / Building / Maintaining from Storey Publishing, LLC Price: $11.75 Customer Review: Good book on the basics of Docks. Great to help you decide what kind of dock or type of material. Not so hot if you want information on repairing an existing dock. Once you have the basic understanding your decision will still be based more on Zoning and local laws than anything else and you will... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


6.	[no image]	Fundamentals of Momentum, Heat and Mass Transfer from John Wiley & Sons Inc Customer Review: Great book, good format, good pictures but not too busy.

7.		Water Resources Engineering from Wiley Price: $130.49 Customer Review: One of my coworkers had this book, I kept using it as a reference so I eventually bought my own copy. It is an outstanding textbook and an important reference book to have on hand. I highly recommned it. It is far better than the "Hydraulic Engineering" textbook I had in college.

8.		Fluid Mechanics With Engineering Applications from McGraw-Hill Science/Engineering/Math Price: $98.00 Customer Review: This book was not as described.

9.		Six-Minute Solutions for Civil PE Exam Water Resources and Environmental Problems from Professional Publications, Inc. Price: $52.50 Customer Review: The Six-Minute Solutions guides are great, especially when preparing for the afternoon portion of the Civil PE exam.

These questions are in-line with what you can expect on the exam,... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


10.		Applied Fluid Mechanics (5th Edition) from Prentice Hall Price: $44.26 Customer Review: This comprehensive text covereing fluid mechanics by Robert Mott is an excellent means to review basic fluid mechanics.

Mr Mott provides sufficiently... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		Hydrology and Hydraulic Systems from Waveland Pr Inc Price: $85.81 Customer Review: This is a great deal for a textbook. It covers the basics of hydrology and hydraulics very thoroughly, and better than most other water-resources textbooks. The figures in the third edition are better than in previous ones, though some additional photos or figures would be helpful to augment the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Vectors, Tensors and the Basic Equations of Fluid Mechanics (Dover Books on Engineering) from Dover Publications Price: $8.99 Customer Review: this is really a nice book if you want to work on fluid mechanics. it provides you the equations of fluid mechanics in different coordinate system.

16.		Schaum's Outline of Fluid Dynamics (Schaum's) from McGraw-Hill Price: $9.00 Customer Review: I have this book first edition; this third edition is not much different from the first one. No CFD, no computer applications and almost the same subjects of 30 years ago. The chapters about MHD, non-newtonian flows and hyper-sonic flows are all but too short; they are almost useless. There is... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.	[no image]	Viscous Fluid Flow from McGraw-Hill Inc.,US Customer Review: This book is pretty good considering it is Viscous Fluids material. It won't hold your hand too much, so if you are not up to speed on fluid dynamics, you will probably get lost. But if you have just finished learning inviscid fluids, then this book makes a good next step.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		Earth Ponds A to Z: An Illustrated Encyclopedia from Countryman Press Price: $11.09 Customer Review: The book was fine. The shipping was terrible. USPS took 3 weeks to deliver after it was shipped.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		Fluid Power with Applications (5th Edition) from Prentice Hall Price: $19.30 Customer Review: I am a an engineering student with a gpa of 3.93 (73 hours). I have found this to be one of the least helpfull books I have ever used. The examples worked are at such a low complexity level, that they do almost no good for solving the problems at the end of the chapters. There are entire concepts... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


20.		Hydraulics and Pneumatics, Second Edition from Butterworth-Heinemann Price: $42.41 Customer Review: This book describes all basic concepts of hydraulic and pneumatic systems and it is a very good guide of what compenents you will need in order to build up your own system..

Most of the concepts are very nicely explained and there a lot of emphasis on understanding... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


22.		Environmental Hydrology, Second Edition from CRC Press Price: $86.85 Customer Review: I received the book in perfect conditions, much earlier than I expected. It was really a good experience and I recommend it.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


23.		Audel Pumps from Audel Price: $18.92 Customer Review: I'm not impressed. Units are not consistent and terms (like force and pressure) are interchanged. Much of the material seems pretty old, so I'm not sure how honest it is for them to print the words "all new 6th edition" on the cover. There is some useful info, but, overall, I found it to be just an... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


24.		Hoover Dam: An American Adventure from University of Oklahoma Press Price: $9.55 Customer Review: I bought the book for my wife, but I took it over and I will give it to her when I am done!	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


25.		2,500 Solved Problems In Fluid Mechanics and Hydraulics from McGraw-Hill Price: $16.40 Customer Review: I would recommend this book for either students or individuals working in the field of mechanical engineering and fluid design.

26.		Water-Resources Engineering (2nd Edition) from Prentice Hall Price: $90.00 Customer Review: The book is very straight forward and explains a lot but does not give enough examples. Overall its a good book to use.	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


27.		Fluid Mechanics, Second Edition: Volume 6 (Course of Theoretical Physics) from Butterworth-Heinemann Price: $51.52 Customer Review: I had read the first edition one that I borrowed from the library.

28.		Water: A Natural History from Basic Books Price: $9.43 Customer Review: We used this book as the spine for a homeschooling unit on watersheds - it's AWESOME!
