Best Thermodynamics
Ranging from the basic principles of Newtonian physics through such formidable theories as general relativity and quantum mechanics, Feynman's lectures stand as a monument of clear exposition and deep insight. The late Richard P. Feynman was Richard Chace Tolman Professor of Theoretical Physics at the California Institute of Technology.

I love FLP but the printing quality of the Millennium edition does leave a bad taste in mouth. Below is the set this review is for. The Feynman Lectures on Physics, boxed set: The New Millennium Edition. The new edition can be fully read online legally for free. www dot feynmanlectures dot info. The errata for all editions can be found in the same website above. Below are the better printed edition (use errata from above). The Feynman Lectures on Physics: Commemorative Issue, Three Volume Set. The Feynman Lectures on Physics including Feynman's Tips on Physics: The Definitive and Extended Edition. The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Three Volume Set. The Feynman Lectures on Physics (3 Volume Set) (Set v). The Feynman Lectures on Physics (Three Volume Set). Basically any edition other than the Millennium hardcover or paperback edition should be good used with the errata posted above."
"Although the intellectual value of the books is enormous, the poor quality of the package and protection i experienced screwed up my first impression of the product."
"Then, he will apply the actual physics."
"Books arrived in decent condition, could have been a bit more padded for shipping as one corner of the slipcase was dented."
"Purchased in November 1998 and I have not found a better physics audio."
"Perfect gift set."
"It is really a rare thing to have upper division/grad level physics summerized in a beautiful way as a handy reference/refresher."
It begins with a description of the crude oils and their nature, and continues with the saleable products from the refining processes, with a review of the environmental impact. The handbook describes and discusses the key components and processes that make up the petroleum refining industry. The editor S.Jones is a retired chemical engineer having spent 10 years in BP's Refinery, 4 years in BP Research and Development, 2 years in Esso's Refinery Development Dept, 18 years in Process Engineering with Fluor Corporation (Final position general manager-operations), 8 years as private engineering consultant in SA.

In telling this fascinating story of science, the reader is masterfully guided through the wonderment of how scientific discoveries (and the key players of those discoveries) shaped the world as we know it today. With its unique blend of science, history, and biographies, The Cosmic Machine provides an easily accessible account without sacrificing the actual science itself. – Midwest Book Review. "I wanted to start by saying that I really enjoyed this book.

"If you've ever wondered not just about the 'what' of science but the 'who' 'when' 'where' 'how' and 'why' as well..read this book!"
"He could not put the book down!"
"In attempting to make science available to everyone the chemical physicist Scott Bembenek thoroughly covers the history of physics for the lay person. Much like the show "Cosmos", this book covers many famous names and their work, such as Galileo, Christian Huygens, LaPlace, Bohr, Rutherford, Copernicus, James Clerk Maxwell, Democritus, Aristotle, Boltzmann, Leibniz, Avagadro, Newton, Einstein, Planck, Schrodinger, Heisenberg, et al. Topics covered include energy, conservation, force, matter, heat, atomic theory, philosophy of nature, Newtonian and quantum mechanics, and entropy. Disclaimer: An electronic copy of this book was provided directly by the fine author free of charge for the purpose of advance review."
"But as the book progressed, it became more mathematical and less descriptive, to the point where I stopped enjoying the book."
"Having done A level physics and been constantly intrigued by the discoveries of the subject but frequently confused by the whole thing I was hoping that this would bring a bit of sense to it all."
Best Aerodynamics
Written by Howard Curtis, Professor of Aerospace Engineering at Embry-Riddle University, Orbital Mechanics for Engineering Students is a crucial text for students of aerospace engineering.

"Received in very timely manner."
"Excellent book!"
"Orbital Mechanics offers great clarity, great solved examples, and surprising depth, considering it is an undergraduate text."
"I recommend using this in conjunction with Fundamentals of Astrodynamics by Bate, Mueller, and White, so that you can learn the basic equations and their derivations while also getting extensive applied examples from Curtis. A few pages started falling out after I'd only owned the book for a few days and was in otherwise unused condition."
"Amazon will send you a black and white, print on demand copy of the original color version, which means you won't get the experience intended by the author and publisher."
"Software cd was not included."
Best Fluid Dynamics
The eighth edition of White’s Fluid Mechanics offers students a clear and comprehensive presentation of the material that demonstrates the progression from physical concepts to engineering applications and helps students quickly see the practical importance of fluid mechanics fundamentals. Frank M White is Professor Emeritus of Mechanical and Ocean Engineering at theUniversity of Rhode Island.
