Feeling really crappy (physically), couldn't sleep, about to try again though. In the meantime, I've checked another "to do" item off my list... I've ordered that book I said I would from Dover Books... and a few others from them too (related to the topic). This should keep me busy for a couple of weeks when they arrive (lol... honestly, I'll be lucky to read them all this decade methinks).
"The Superfluid Phases of Helium 3" by Dieter Vollhardt and Peter Wolfle (1990)
"Quantum Theory of Many-Particle Systems" by Alexander L. Fetter and John Dirk Walecka (1971)
"Green's Functions and Condensed Matter" by G. Rickayzen (1980)
"Techniques and Applications of Path Integration" by L. S. Schulman (1981)
"A History and Philosophy of Fluid Mechanics" by G. A. Tokaty (1971)
The last one seems like it will be relatively light reading, but maybe not. I'm particularly looking forward to the "comparison of the development of fluid mechanics in the former Soviet Union with that in the West" that it purportedly presents. I've also signed up to the Dover Books email list... I have been addicted to their stuff since I was a teenager ;). Sadly, they won't send me physical catalogues because I spell catalog as catalogue (more specifically, because I'm not at a US address and it's too expensive for them). Oh well, drooling over emails about books will have to suffice for me :).
