useful books

hello all

Well it's sometime since I troubled y'all for your list of most useful technical reference books. Please post them here so we Profs. can steal your ideas for the benefit of our students! Later I will post a summary.

To start the ball rolling here is the list from my WebPages
http://www.eos.uoguelph.ca/webfiles/james/NuBooks.html

I have started to list from my own shelves recent rather than classic books on urban water systems that I use from time to time - if your favorites are not listed, by all means email details to me! My regrets that sources are not posted yet (later...!)
