I cannot help but feel like I would like to toss my cookies when I recall this work. Certainly, the author made a futile attempt to provide an apelike overview of fluid mechanics, as it was at the time- but did he really scrutinise those engineering applications? Really and truly? As a reader, I must judge for myself-does this textbook actually present a serious attempt to disseminate the theories and methodologies of fluid mechanics, or is it just a convenient outlet for the author to convey to his readers his most bizarre and disturbing fascination with pipes, heads, and viscous fluids? Personally, I wonder....

This garbled biography of Senator Joe McCarthy is billed to be "an objective reappraisal of The Senator Joseph McCarthy Affair", but degenerates rapidly.Rather, it is a factual free-for-all wherein the author doesn't bother to provide documentation for any statement he makes. He even goes so far as to cite to incidents occurring in towns and counties that do not exist in Wisconsin. Despite the book's fascinating subject, the author fails miserably to retain the reader's interest. I am heartily sorry for anyone who actually bought this book.
