Practical Finite Element Analysis, Finite to Infinite, 2008. I had always planned on writing a textbook on this subject because I hadn't found one that was any good, but then I found someone had already done it in India. This book is hard to find. I found my copy while browsing the Tata Bookshop in Bangalore India after my friend Rajesh had showed me his copy. This book is so good. I hadn't had a best FEA book on my best of book-list because I really didn't think there was one out there. This is it. It's $10 if you pick up a copy in India, otherwise it will cost you $85 for the international hardbound. It's worth 5 times that much.

Reading this book is like having a casual conversation with your company's old timer who is full of knowledge, easily approachable, and likes to try to put things in perspective...
