The Maritime Engineering Reference Book is a one-stop source for engineers involved in marine engineering and naval architecture. In this essential reference, Anthony F. Molland has brought together the work of a number of the world's leading writers in the field to create an inclusive volume for a wide audience of marine engineers, naval architects and those involved in marine operations, insurance and other related fields.
Coverage ranges from the basics to more advanced topics in ship design, construction and operation. All the key areas are covered, including ship flotation and stability, ship structures, propulsion, seakeeping and maneuvering. The marine environment and maritime safety are explored as well as new technologies, such as computer aided ship design and remotely operated vehicles (ROVs).
Facts, figures and data from world-leading experts makes this an invaluable ready-reference for those involved in the field of maritime engineering.

This is a good reference book covering many topics that are useful to a naval architect. However, at a price of nearly £130 I do not expect the book's binding to fall apart so easily, and the pages to start to drop out. The book is about 5.5cm thick, and pages are not stitched and glued to the spine, but merely glued. This is the second book that Amazon has sent me, after I sent the first one back for the same reason. This time I'll be asking for a refund instead of a replacement! A very cheaply made book at a very expensive price.

It should be better

It is an encyclopedic book that talks about everything and says very little about each topic.
There are typos too.
You will not learn much, unless you consult the references.
It is not as useful as PNA, but they cover primarely the same subjects.
The price is high, so think twice before buying it.

This book is a gift!

I think this book is very interesting. A perfect reference book for naval architects and marine engineers. Therefore, I have bought this book in order to give it to my teacher from University of Sao Paulo in Brazil - Dept of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering. I hope he will enjoy this gift very much!
