The fundamental characteristics of a ship's design, and how they affect its behaviour at sea are of crucial importance to many people involved in the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of all marine vessels. Naval architects and those working in ship design need to understand these principles in depth. Marine engineers must likewise recognise the degree to which their activities are influenced and bounded by these principles. Finally, senior crew - both Ship's Engineers and Commanders - need an understanding of the principles of naval architecture in order to properly fulfil their duties. This book offers a clear and concise introduction to the subject and is of great value to both students and practising professionals in all of the above fields.

* Covers introductory level courses in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering
* Updated to cover key developments including double-hulled tankers
* Fully revised fourth edition accompanied by exercises and worked solutions for the first time

A fantastic book which will appeal to anyone with an interest in Scotland's beautiful and remote landscape.For twenty years, W R Mitchell was the editor of The Dalesman and he is known for his love of the Yorkshire Dales but there is another place close to his heart: the remote parts of the Scottish Highlands and Islands. It's a Long Way to Muckle Flugga tells the tale of the author and his friends as they head north across the Border to explore some region of Scotland - one year the Isle of Arran, the next the Great Glen - moving ever northwards to their ultimate goal, Muckle Flugga in the Shetlands. W R Mitchell and his friends are drawn to the wild, lonely landscape and the abundant bird and animal life found in these remote parts of Scotland. This enthralling odyssey through an unspoiled wilderness will delight locals and visitors to these captivating parts of Scotland.

Apart from his native Yorkshire Dales, Bill Mitchell also loves, and travels yearly to, Scotland. Every spring, Bill and his friends travel north across the border to explore some region of Scotland - one year the Isle of Arran, another year the Great Glen - moving ever northwards to their ultimate goal of Muckle Flugga in the Shetlands. This book travels through a relatively unspolit wilderness which should appeal to the armchair dreamers as much as to those who share the author's affinity with remote places. "It's a Long Way to Muckle Flugga" shows the author and his friends sailing out from Ardrossan on the Firth of Clyde, to the moment when they gaze at the rocky outposts of Muckle Flugga.
