I searched this book in public library right now, and they didn't have it, do you suggest any other books.
 
Public libraries rarely have good physics sections. You're better off going to a university library. You can't borrow it from there if you aren't a uni student though.
 
I'm going to try to see if they have that book.
thanks guys.
