5.0 out of 5 stars It's easy to understand and explain
I used it because I teach in the Santiago Mariño Politech in Maracay City, but I was surprise that the select problems only have solutions until chapter 8, and I need the rest of the chapter select problems solutions.

1.0 out of 5 stars Terrible Textbook
I have to agree with the reviewer above me. This book is awful. The sample problems skip steps, don't show formulas and don't have enough explanation. If you're going to use this textbook for a course, I suggest you buy a supplement because this textbook will leave you confused.

1.0 out of 5 stars Missing vital information, February 28, 2001
By 
David C. Kirkham (Pocatello, Idaho United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mechanics of Fluids (Hardcover)
This book is one of the worst textbooks I've had. The example problems do not contain units, and skip vital steps to arriving at the solutions. In lieu of this, the authors have used such statements as, "of course" and "so"-- a true sign of a bad textbook. This one gets sold back at the end of the semester.
