Freedman and Kaufmann "Universe"

Hi all,

Has any kind soul got a copy of "Universe" by Freedman and Kaufmann that I may purchase from them at some economical price? I have just started an Astronomy Diploma at UCLAN and it is one of the set books. At £40 new it is a tad expensive for A Senior Citizen on a fixed income:-(

I am in the UK.

The current edition is #8, but a #7 or #6 would do.

The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...

I wonder if there is a book that takes a theoretical approach to Turbulence starting from the full Navier Stokes Equations and developing from there, instead of jumping from...
