Review:

No words for this awesome good although there are some other good books too which are of foreign authors but this one gives you step by step treatment,right now i am preparing for UPSC and I am from civil engineering stream 2012 passout,this book saved me in college,and hoping again it'll shower its magic onto me --Abhishek Kuril on Jun 11, 2013

The chapters are well organised with lucid explanation. Student friendly if anyone reads" The Kinematics of Flow " much easier than other foreign authors. Recommended by every teacher of Indian universities. --Debayan Bhattacharjee on Feb 5, 2014

simply it's awesome it's language is really very easy especially when you need to understand something quickly in a very less time n very nicely you should really have to go through this book.... It made u understand each n every topic very-very nicely and can say that the solved examples are of high level you could also practice for GATE by these questions..... --Sohil Tiwari on Jun 3, 2012
