Variational Formulation of Fluid and Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Mech
This book describes the derivation of the equations of motion of fluids as well as the dynamics of ocean and atmospheric currents on both large and small scales through the use of variational methods. In this way the equations of Fluid and Geophysical Flu

In science, as in other walks of life, we are often tempted to do something that will have an immediate impact that seems original and that will garner more funding and get us promoted but that may have little true benefit in the long term. And so we do it, and thereby make a Faustian bargain, not really thinking about the longer term. But that long term might be better served if we could make more of a Proustian bargain in which we remember the accomplishments of the past, search for the meaning in the science, build on secure foundations and so make true advances, even if slowly and intermittently.
