Physical, chemical processes in gases at high temperatures are focus of outstanding text by two distinguished physicists. Combines material from gas dynamics, shock-wave theory, thermodynamics and statistical physics, molecular physics, spectroscopy, radiation theory, other fields for comprehensive treatment. 284 black-and-white illustrations. 1966–1967 edition, originally published in two volumes.
Statistical Fluid Mechanics, Volume II: Mechanics of Turbulence by A. S. Monin, A. M. Yaglom This definitive work on turbulence by a pair of eminent Russians is famed for its clarity and its thoroughness. The two-volume set functions equally well as text or reference. 1975 edition.
Physics of Fully Ionized Gases: Second Revised Edition by Lyman Spitzer, Jr. An introductory course in theoretical physics is the sole prerequisite for this general but simple introduction to the fields of plasma and fusion research. 1962 edition.
Foundations of Laser Spectroscopy by Stig Stenholm A simple presentation of the theoretical foundations of steady-state laser spectroscopy, this text helps students to apply theory to calculations with a systematic series of examples and exercises. 1984 edition.
Principles of Stellar Dynamics by S. Chandrasekhar A Nobel Prize-winning astrophysicist presents the theory of stellar dynamics as a branch of classical dynamics, clarifying fundamental issues and revealing underlying theoretical motivations. 1942 edition.
