Hairraising
Marianne Tyrrell tried out the Van de Graaff generator during the Princeton Plasma Physics Lab's Open House on June 3, when some 2,400 people walked around NSTX; learned about the physics behind sports; crawled into a portable planetarium; participated in tabletop demonstrations of electromagnetism, thermodynamics and common plasmas; and participated in hands-on safety and science activities.

In print
A Physical Introduction to Fluid Mechanics, by Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Alexander Smits (John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2000)
"With its clear explanation of fundamental principles and emphasis on real world applications, this practical text will motivate readers to learn. The author connects theory and analysis to practical examples drawn from engineering practice. Readers get a better understanding of how they can apply these concepts to develop engineering answers to various problems. By using simple examples that illustrate basic principles and more complex examples representative of engineering applications throughout the text, the author also shows readers how fluid mechanics is relevant to the engineering field."
