  3. Bibliography Thelecturenotesandhandoutsarethemainsourceofmaterial. However,thereareanumber ofgoodbooksthatthestudentcanuse toclarifysomeofthetopicsor forextramaterial. II. Interesting Books: ■ AstrophysicalFlows,J.PringleandA.King, CambridgeUniversity Press, nice concise introduction ■ FluidMechanics,LandauandLifshitz exceptionalbookbutof somewhathigherlevel. ■ An Introduction to Fluid Dynamics, G. K. Batchelor historic classic, widely regarded as a “bible” for the subject. Daunting at first sight, but lucid, thorough and reliable. ■ Gas Dynamics; Vol. II, Physics of Astrophysics, F. Shu Univ. Science Books, very good for astrophysical perspective. ■Album of Fluid Motion, van Dyke Beautiful photographs showing fluid in motion .
