Classic book on shock waves

Title self-explanatory. This is a standard reference for all of shock wave theory. Many of the mathematical methods in the book are now obsolete. i.e. We do things computationally now. Still worth having on your book shelf. Excellent coverage of characteristic rays. I have made "powerpoint" presentations based on the material in this book, so it must be worth something.
