Computational Techniques for Fluid Dynamics: A Solutions Manual (Scientific Computation)
Karkenahalli Srinivas , and Clive A.J. Fletcher Manufacturer: Springer ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 354054304X |
Book Description
This complementary text provides detailed solutions for the problems that appear in C.A.J. Fletcher's treatise Computational Techniques for Fluid Dynamics. The solutions are indicated in enough detail for the reader to complete any intermediate steps. Many of the problems require a computer program to be written, some of which are completely new; their listing forms part of the solution. Many problems are substantial enough to be considered mini-projects, and they should encourage the reader to explore extensions and further developments. Although targeted at instructors, the manual should be of considerable interest for mechanical engineers and fluid dynamicists.

I'd give it 5 stars if it was written in the later 90's, and therefore had up to date info on mobility and recombination models, etc, and more on the hydrodynamic formulations.

Enduring Questions: Traditional and Contemporary Voices
Jerry H. Gill Manufacturer: Wadsworth Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0155062867 |
Book Description
The 7th edition of ENDURING QUESTIONS continues to explore and examine virtually all of the classical and contemporary questions posed by the major philosophers of western civilization. From the philosophical traditions of ancient Greece to the present day, the ways of understanding our own knowledge, the nature of reality, the basis of morality, and social ideals are presented in the philosophers "own writings", a panoramic collection for introductory students. This text has endured since Melvin Rader originated it in 1956, and it continues to stand the test of time as a valuable core book of readings for introductory courses in philosophy.

About 100 years behind the times.......2003-01-09
Tullock assumes the validity of the documentary hypothesis (as developed by Wellhausen et al.) and proceeds from there, which is a fatal flaw for two reasons: 1)The introductory student probably doesn't care about theories of composition and would be better served by spending more time becoming acquainted with the content and themes of the OT books; 2)Wellhausen's theories are deeply flawed, as many authors in the past century have pointed out (as an example, see Kline's Structure of Biblical Authority, which makes a compelling case that the form of Deuteronomy is that of an ancient treaty and only fits the milieu of the Mosaic period).
Skip this one.
Note: the above comments apply to the edition which was current in 1991. One hopes that Tullock has improved the book during the intervening decade.

Contemporary American Fiction: An Introduction to American Fiction since 1970
Kenneth Millard Manufacturer: Oxford University Press, USA ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items: ASIN: 0198711786 |
Book Description
Contemporary American Fiction provides an introduction to American fiction since 1970. Offering substantial and detailed interpretations of more than thirty texts by thirty different writers, Millard combines them in an innovative critical structure designed to promote debates on cultural politics and aesthetic value.

Recent novels by established writers such as John Updike and Philip Roth are analysed alongside the fiction of younger writers such as Gish Jen and Sherman Alexie. The books innovative structure encourages new ways of thinking about how American writers might be configured in relation to each other, while providing an analysis of how contemporary fiction has responded to changes in central areas of American life such as the family, the media, technology, and consumerism. Contemporary American Fiction is a substantial critical introduction to some of the most exciting fiction of the last thirty years, an eclectic and thorough advertisement for the extraordinary vitality of American fiction at the end of the twentieth century. This is an excellent introduction to the subject for undergraduate students of modern American literature.Customer Reviews:

Contemporary British and Irish Poetry: An Introduction
Sarah Broom Manufacturer: Palgrave Macmillan ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 1403906750 Release Date: 2005-11-24 |
Book Description
Contemporary British and Irish Poetry provides an engaging, stimulating and lively introduction to the subject. Sarah Broom covers poets from a broad range of ethnic and regional backgrounds and explores a wide variety of poetic styles, including well-known names like Seamus Heaney and Carol Ann Duffy alongside more experimental poets like Tom Raworth and Geraldine Monk.The book discusses all of the most compelling issues with which students, readers and writers of poetry are engaged today: class consciousness and economic divisions in society; political conflict and violence; gender, sex and embodiment, and the intersections of gender and nation; race and ethnicity; the self, subjectivity and agency; the relationships between the so-called "mainstream" of British and Irish poetry and "experimental" and "performance poetry" communities.Including close readings of individual poems, and providing a sense of the parameters of the relevant critical and theoretical debates, this is an indispensable guide for all those interested in the work of some of Britain's and Ireland's most successful and exciting contemporary poets.
