This Handbook is a very good compilation of classic and mode topics on Fluid Mechanics and its applications, with special emphasis in mode topics. Due to the depth and detail of the treatment of some topics, it exceeds the level of a Handbook. The scarce extension in the treatment of each topic lets an unavoidable sensation that the Handbook would be able to continue deepening and extending the exposition; this limitation, that would drive to an enormous Encyclopedia of doubtful applicability, is saved by an extensive list of references at the end of each chapter, being one of the prominent characteristics of this Handbook.
