SHIP KNOWLEDGE

Covering ship design construction and operation

 

Ship Knowledge is the book that tells you all about ships and shipping. The parts and systems wihch together form a modern ship are dealt with, from design drafts ut to the finished construction, including paint systems and legal aspect.

Detailed descriptions of the various subjects as well as the use of many drawings, cross-section drawings and pictures, all in full colour, make the book perfectly readable for everybody interested in shipping.

After reading this book you will no longer think of a ship as a dead object, but consider it a completely self-supporting entity embodying all the modern techniques also to be found in a small town.

An indispensable book for anyone interested in moderm shipping! Considering the ever growing number of foreign crew on board European vessels and in the offshore industry with consequently a growing demand for English language readers and text-books.

Ship Knowledge will certainly prove to be an asset, not only for use at nautical colleges, but as a work of reference for everyone employed afloat nowadays.

CONOCIMIENTO DE LA NAVE

Envoltura Diseño De la Nave,
Construcción y operación

 

¿Como "cuál un libro sería si incluyó la sabiduría combinada de un shipmaster del veterano, de un arquitecto naval chevronné, de un principal ingeniero y de un profesor marítimo de la academia? Si tal cosa es posible, esta clase de arsenal extenso de experiencia marítimo se ofrece en conocimiento de la nave: Una Enciclopedia Moderna. Este libro es quizás el catálogo más comprensivo de la construcción y del equipo de la nave disponibles dondequiera.

El conocimiento de la nave se asemeja al libro de los niños populares de David Macaulay que las cosas de la manera trabajan en su accesibilidad. Con todo incluye (no para los niños o los principiantes) descripciones altamente técnicas de cada tema. El autor utiliza ilustraciones y las fotografías a color en cada página.

Estamos satisfechos de recomendar la 2ª ED. (2005) a cualquier persona con un interés técnico fuerte en buques mercantes de hoy.
