First published in 1967, Professor Batchelor's classic text on fluid dynamics is still one of the foremost texts in the subject. The careful presentation of the underlying theories of fluids is still timely and applicable. This re-issue should ensure that a new generation of graduate students see the elegance of Professor Batchelor's presentation.
