A brilliant book on the governing equations of fluid mechanics. It is a graduate-level book. It includes a deep mathematical description of fluid mechanics and could serve as a very good reference for fluid's governing equations and derivations.
On the other hand, this is a relatively old book. It might be hard to follow if you don't have a good background in fluid mechanics. Moreover, you need to be familiar with the indicial notations of vectors.
