    What is old is new again!
  

*by L***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2016*

My advanced degrees are not in Aerodynamics but my oldest daughter is an art educator, historian and practicing artist and we have had an ongoing dialog pertaining to Karman Vortex Streets as they appear to various works of art, with particular attention to Vincent van Gogh' s "Starry Night".  Much to my delight, Prof. von Karman provides antidotal information as to how his name became associated with Karman Vortex Streets which he did not discover but apparently popularized.  In addition, he recounts the oldest art works he has seen which depict Karman Vortex Streets, so my daughter will have another verified historical reference for her growing art history bibliography. There is a lot of history in the book and the math is presented in an understandable format.When I stumbled upon Prof. von Karman textbook at Amazon, the use of the term “Print Replica Kindle Book” was unfamiliar, but from the description it sounded very much like Adobe PDF with OCR enabled, inside a AZW wrapper. I requested a free sample and found that AZW4 file worked flawlessly with Kindle Readers on Kindle Fire, Kindle for Android and Kindle for Windows. The text images were obviously scanned but the OCR conversion first rate. Electronic textbooks have always been a problem but Amazon has made some very sound design tradeoffs with the Print Replicas format. This is a fantastic solution for making legacy out-of-print documents available in easy to use electronic formats. Let’s be honest EPUB, MOBI and PDF all have problems but AZW4, while not perfect, is a good step forward.I review most of the Amazon advertisements I receive but Kindle Print Replicas were new to me. The term I was aware of was Kindle Textbooks but failed make the connection with legacy books, in which I am very interested. Has Amazon considered a wish list for Print Replica inclusion? But why stop with books, what about old magazines? What about a few free books which demonstrate Print Replica functionality?I highly recommend this 60 year old textbook to the Amazon community. What is old is new again!

    A great introduction and historical perspective
  

*by Q***9 on Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2013*

This text is well written and most of the concepts are explained in sufficient detail, based on the information available at that time, for someone new to the field. There are also some interesting bits from the authors past that I found entertaining and insightful.

von Kármán knew almost every great fundamental theorist in aerodynamics personally and it shows. Great book!
