Books by Frank White

Since 1974, Viscous Fluid Flow has been known for its academic rigor and effectiveness at serving as a convenient "one-stop shop" for those interested in expanding their knowledge of the rich and evolving field of fluid mechanics. The fourth edition contains important updates and over 200 new references while maintaining the tradition of fulfilling the role of a senior or first-year graduate textbook on viscous motion with a well-balanced mix of engineering applications.>Students are expected to understand the basic foundations of fluid mechanics, vector calculus, partial differential equations, and rudimentary numerical analysis. The material can be selectively presented in a one-semester course or, with more extensive coverage, in two (or even three) semesters.

Fluid Mechanics is the study of fluids as an important branch of engineering mechanics. Almost everything on this planet either is a fluid or moves within or near a fluid. The essence of the subject of fluid flow is a judicious compromise between theory and experiment. This textbook not only makes a great deal of theoretical treatment available, but also provides experimental results as a natural and easy complement to the theory. The principles considered in the book are fundamental, and have been well established. However, in presenting this important subject, we have drawn on our own ideas and experience. Throughout the revisions, the informal and student-oriented writing style has been retained and further enhanced, and if it succeeds, has the flavor of an interactive lecture by the authors.

A poignant, nostalgic novella of coming of age in a Yorkshire village in the sixties paired with another short novel set in Manchester at the outbreak of war, from an author of extraordinary insight and tenderness.

The most comprehensive photo collection of Ronnie James Dio from his first ever US show with Rainbow in 1975 to 2009 with Heaven & Hell by New Jersey photographer Frank White along with White's recollections of Dio as he recalls the many times shared in his company from the other side of the lens.

Too Pained to Live, Too Scared to Die presents the voice of a military veteran, Frank White, who struggles, after his active duty's conclusion, with substance abuse and post-traumatic stress disorder. He begins this memoir by reflecting on his early life, uncovering the roots of his circumstances in the events of those formative years. At times confessional in tone, always straightforward, Too Pained to Live, Too Scare to Die brings to life Frank White's efforts to live in the place caught between the two poles contained in the title. Whether you care about the challenges facing this country's veterans, you know a veteran who confronts such obstacles, you are a veteran yourself, or you simply care about the issues others face in their daily lives, Too Pained to Live, Too Scared to Die will tell you a story that will stay with you.

From an author who lived through - and served in - the conflict, a brilliant novel set in an English village at a turning point of the Second World War.
