DESCRIPTION:
"Buyer beware!!" according to Amazon Customer. It is hard to tell how this book might be in a normal way, as I purchased from SouthAsiaBooks and received a copy that was invalid, i.e. for sale only in India, Sri Lanka, Pakistan and not the American version as represented in the description. There are many grammatical errors that make it hard to comprehend the contents and the book itself is poorly constructed. Perhaps the correct version of the book is better, but be careful who you buy from.. "great reference book/not much of a text book" according to aerospace_person. As I see it, text books are meant to instruct the readers on the rules and such surrounding a specific subject. This book covers such a broad swath of topics that it is nearly impossible for the author to spend enough time on each individual topic. If you are looking for a reference book that has a good set of condensed equations, tables, and figures, this is a good book for you. However, if you actually want to learn about viscous fluid flow, you should probably look at another book.. One Star book was covered my someones writing. all scribbled
