Summary:
This concise and comprehensive book covers the basic concepts and principles of modern fluid mechanics. It examines the fundamental aspects of fluid motion including important fluid properties, regimes of flow, pressure variations in fluids at rest and in motion, methods of flow description and analysis. It expands on basic analysis techniques used to solve fluid mechanics problems, and stresses how flow phenomena are described mathematically, and when and how to use infinitesimal and finite control volumes.

Solutions are for problems on the book's website
Customer Rating:  Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3 Score = 3
This solutions manual does not provide answers to the questions at the end of each chapter of the fluid mechanics book; instead the solutions correspond to the Review Problems section on the book website. There are around 15 problems worked out per chapter, all of which are easy to follow and understand. This book is a good reference to have but for me isn't worth the money since it doesn't help me work through my homework problems.

Super companion text for fluid mechanics courses!
Customer Rating:  Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4 Score = 4
Although brief (as the name of the text implies), I have found that this is a wonderful companion text for any fluid mechanics course. Such courses are often taught during the upper level undergrad or entry level grad portions of the C.Eng., Hydrology, M.Eng., and Env.Eng. programs. The selling point in this text is the detail of the diagrams and examples. This alone should interest students. These examples are really good and the level of detail is thorough so that one can easliy apply concepts from problem to problem. My only complaint is minimal. The complaint is that the text is indeed brief and as such, sometimes the wording and explanation suffers. Aside from that, I highly recommend this text as a companion to other texts used in fluid mechancs courses.

Great first text
Customer Rating:  Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5 Score = 5
This was the book used for my first course in fluid mechanics and it was great. The text is easy to understand and follow. Example problems are done out fully. The material in the book is not in-depth enough to make it a great reference, but as far as instruction goes, this book is superb. Another great part of this book is that it is not as expensive as other texts. A new copy of the second edition was less than $40 at the campus bookstore.

A note to instructors, the solution manual (which is also excellent) is readily available online - or at least it used to be.
