This well-established text book fills the gap between the general texts on fluid mechanics and the highly specialised volumes on hydraulic engineering. It covers all aspects of hydraulic science normally dealt with in a civil engineering degree course

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. brilliant and insightful thoughts from a great man and great filmmakerBy Joseph McBrideI just received a copy of this superb anthology; which is just out. I read most of it already yesterday and find it a very important book on one of our greatest filmmakers and a great man. I say this even though I am biased because I am represented in the book with a resurrected; previously unpublished 1980 qa I did with Abe Polonsky at Filmex in 1980 about his masterpiece TELL THEM WILLIE BOY IS HERE and added some material on it from my thoughts and my earlier discussion with him after we watched the film together in 1975; the first time hed seen it since its release in 1969. This is by far the best book available on Polonsky (not including the fine collections of his scripts). He was a brilliant man and highly original writer and director and gave searching; introspective; in-depth; educational interviews (he had been and continued to be a teacher) that didnt much repeat each other; unlike most other directors interviews. Reading this collection of his thoughts over the years; you will be deeply impressed with Abes intellectual range; depth; courage; and challenging nature. He reflects profoundly on film and history and the blacklist and Cold War era. Its a book with many insights and lessons for our current dilemmas. Andrew Dickos did a fine job tracking down and editing the material. Highly recommended to all interested in American film; culture; and history.
