1.0 out of 5 stars
still waiting,
By "eesz12wit4x" (Evansville, In United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oceanography and Seamanship (Hardcover)
The reason I rated this book, as one star in the rating,sir I don't have it,yet! That is my problem..you recommended The Annapolis Book of Seamanship,by John Rousmanine and Mark Smith,I have that book, I don't know if you sent it by mistake or if I bought it at books a million. I ordered Oceanography and Seamanship,Heavy Weather Sailing,and Storm Tactics Handbook,Modern Method of Heaving-To for Sur- viving in Extreme Conditions..still waiting..eesz12wit4x
5.0 out of 5 stars
Informative and definitely worth the price,
By A Customer
This review is from: Oceanography and Seamanship (Hardcover)
Good diagrams, pictures, charts, etc. A picture being worth 1000 words certainly applies here. Enough mathematics for the scientist, for the layman - the text makes perfect sense without the formulas.
4.0 out of 5 stars
A wonderful book, very interesting re: boats and the sea,
By ctlow@cybertap.com (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oceanography and Seamanship (Hardcover)
Oceanography and Seamanship by van Dorn is so full of information that it's hard to know where to start. The book is quite technical, with lots of math, and even as a scientist, I found that I skipped over many of the forumlae, yet still understood the underlying concepts of how boats and the water interact. Very interesting and useful.
