This is the most comprehensive introductory graduate or advanced undergraduate text in fluid mechanics available. It builds up from the fundamentals, often in a general way, to widespread applications, to technology and geophysics. New to this second edition are discussions on the universal dimensions similarity scaling for the laminar boundary layer equations and on the genera...(展开全部)

Devoted to the foundation of mechanics, namely classical Newtonian mechanics, the subject is based mainly on Galileo's principle of relativity and Hamilton's principle of least action. The exposition is simple and leads to the most complete direct means of solving problems in mechanics. The final sections on adiabatic invariants have been revised and augmented. In addition a sh...(展开全部)

Introductory text for engineers, physicists, and applied mathematicians applies mathematics of Cartesian and general tensors to physical field theories, demonstrating them chiefly in terms of the theory of fluid mechanics. Many exercises throughout the text. Index. Preface. Appendixes.

Tensions mount as Jimmy becomes accustomed to her destiny as the beautiful woman named Benjamin -- it's a pity that Art isn't quite ready to accept this new form, though. When Art and Shonach confront each other, Benjamin runs away from home. But is hiding at Shonach's apartment really the solution?

Written by one of the leading scholars of Japanese religion, The Fluid Pantheon is the first installment of a multivolume project that promises to be a milestone in our understanding of the mythico-ritual system of esoteric Buddhism—specifically the nature and roles of deities in the religious world of medieval Japan and beyond. Bernard Faure introduces readers to medieval Japa...(展开全部)

This edition has been completely revised to include some 20 per cent of new material. Important recent developments such as the theory of Regge poles are now included in this edition. Many problems with solutions have been added to those already contained in the book.

Once upon a time, doctors across Eurasia imagined human beings in ways that strike us today as profoundly strange and alien. For over 2,000 years, they worried anxiously about fluids to which our modern doctors spare hardly a thought (such as sweat, phlegm and qi) and they obsessed over details (such as whether a person’s pores were open or closed) whose meaning and vital impor...(展开全部)

The final volume of Sam Kieths eclectic masterpiece collects a series of innovative stories known as Friends of Maxx. These tales mark a turning point for Kieths artistic evolution as a storyteller, paving the way for later groundbreaking titles such as ZERO GIRL and FOUR WOMEN.

This established, leading textbook, is suitable for courses in CFD. The new edition covers new techniques and methods, as well as considerable expansion of the advanced topics and applications (from one to four chapters). This book presents the fundamentals of computational fluid mechanics for the novice user. It provides a thorough yet user-friendly introduction to the governi...(展开全部)

This new edition of the unrivalled textbook introduces the fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics such as waves, particles and probability before explaining the postulates of quantum mechanics in detail. In the proven didactic manner, the textbook then covers the classical scope of introductory quantum mechanics, namely simple two-level systems, the one-dimensional harmonic ...(展开全部)
