Summary: Excellent book, but the new edition lacks in graphical style
Comment: Kundu's book is an excellent textbook for fluid mechanics at an intermediate level. However, this new eddition has a lot of graphical problems which, if doens't make you regret of buying it, will keep you always remembering of it... I hope the publishers correct those as soon as possible.

Summary: An excellent read for scientists
Comment: Pijush Kundu's textbook has established itself as the standard in introductory fluid mechanics. While most fluid dynamics texts are based around engineering, this book is an excellent cross section for scientists hoping to gain a thorough intuition about the subject. In addition, the first few chapters offer intuitive explanations of such vector operators as div and curl. The idea of curl was a complete mystery to me until I read Kundu's explanation of vorticity. This book is a must have for any applied scientist working in the physical world.

Summary: 2nd parts are never better than 1st part
Comment: I own a copy of the first edition of this book, by
P.Kundu (himself, alone), and find it very usefull,
and generally very well and carefully written.
Unfortunatelly I can't say the same about this
2nd edition. Just for one example, turn to page
number 124, example 13.
The answer is incomplete, to say the least.
In fact is wrong. The answer should be
+/- k.G with k the number of times the curve
goes around the point, and the sign depending
on the orientation of the curve.
I simple, but misleading, mistake.
