This course is teaching a lot of stuff I'm interested in, which is radiometry and sensing. I don't want to email the instructor as I am not a student at this school, so it would just seem like I'm some nosey nobody. Does anybody have any idea of what they are using, or something similar to what they could be using? You can find the syllabus here: https://apps.ep.jhu.edu/course-homepages/3543-615-769-physics-of-remote-sensing

I am sorry I can not help you with a book recommendation. I majored in mathematics, and my physics knowledge is that of only the 2nd upper division course of EM.

However, in that you link you gave. Near the bottom is a link to the that corresponds to that university bookstore. So just search the bookstore using the course number.Moreover, you can google other university course description and browse the syllabus/ book store.

But, maybe these books are good or bad.

The book is fascinating. If your education includes a typical math degree curriculum, with Lebesgue integration, functional analysis, etc, it teaches QFT with only a passing acquaintance of ordinary QM you would get at HS. However, I would read Lenny Susskind's book on QM first. Purchased a copy straight away, but it will not arrive until the end of December; however, Scribd has a PDF I am now studying. The first part introduces distribution theory (and other related concepts), which...
I've gone through the Standard turbulence textbooks such as Pope's Turbulent Flows and Wilcox' Turbulent modelling for CFD which mostly Covers RANS and the closure models. I want to jump more into DNS but most of the work i've been able to come across is too "practical" and not much explanation of the theory behind it. 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...
