Written by an award-winning naval architecture expert and former vice-president of the Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA), the fifth edition of Introduction to Naval Architecture has been fully updated with  in advances in the field and is ideal for those who are new to the subject and those looking to update or refresh their knowledge. This book provides a broad appreciation of the science and art of naval architecture, explaining the subject in physical rather than mathematical terms. While covering basic principles, such as hull geometry, propulsion, and stability, the book also addresses contemporary topics, such as computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacture (CAD/CAM). The new edition reflects the continuing developments in technology, changes in international regulations, and recent research. Knowledge of the fundamentals of naval architecture is essential not only for newcomers but also for marine engineers, marine surveyors, and ship crews. This book provides the most well-known and trusted introduction to the topic with its clear and concise take on the basics.
