Review
"I found this a useful reference book for both seafarer and student alike, it covers the basics of the subject matter.The text is comprehensive with clear illustrations, which will be of help to the students. The exercises at the end of the chapters are a useful method for the students to test their understanding. The helpful tips and revision aids contained within the appendix should assist those with examinations to pass."
Nicola Pryce-Roberts, MSc Programme Leader, School of Engineering, Liverpool John Moores University, August 2002
