The Role of the Physical Environment in Ancient Greek Seafaring
ISBN: 9789004117174 / Angielski / Twarda / 416 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In this study of the world of ancient Greek mariners, the relationship between the natural environment and the techniques and technology of seafaring is focused upon.
An initial description of the geology, oceanography and meteorology of Greece and the Mediterranean, is followed by discussion of the resulting sailing conditions, such as physical hazards, sea conditions, winds and availability of shelter, and environmental factors in sailing routes, sailing directions, and navigational techniques. Appendices discuss winter and night sailing, ship design, weather prediction, and related...

Ursell, dating from 1946-1992, on ship hydrodynamics, the linear theory of water waves, aerodynamics and acoustics, mathematical methods and oceanography. Ursell's work on ship hydrodynamics is mainly concerned with ships at zero forward speed. It includes the author's pioneering work on the frequency dependence of virtual mass and damping and his contributions to such topics as slender-body theory, decay of the free motion of a floating body, diffractions of head seas, the Kelvin shipwave patterns and the analytic form of the Kelvin...

Dynamics of Marine Craft, The: Maneuvering and Seakeeping
ISBN: 9789810247553 / Angielski / Twarda / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book presents a theoretical treatment, as well as a summary of practical methods of computation, of the forces and moments that act on marine craft. Its aim is to provide the tools necessary for the prediction or simulation of craft motions in calm water and in waves. In addition to developing the required equations, the author gives relations that permit at least approximate evaluation of the coefficients so that useful results can be obtained. The approach begins with the equations of motion for rigid bodies, relative to fixed- and moving-coordinate systems; then, the hydrodynamic...

Global Positioning: Technologies and Performance
ISBN: 9780471793762 / Angielski / Twarda / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. From stars to terrestrial networks and satellites
From outdoors to indoors From ancient to future applications From techniques to technologies . . . The field of radionavigation signals and systems has seen significant growth in recent years. Satellite systems are very efficient, but owing to their limited exposure and/or availability in some environments, they do not cover the whole spectrum of applications. Thus, many other positioning techniques are being developed. Now, Global Positioning presents an overview of the strengths and weaknesses of various...

Ships Bilge Pumps
ISBN: 9780890967225 / Angielski / Miękka / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. All wooden ships leak, a stark fact that has terrified sailors since the earliest days of ocean travel. Maritime historical literature is filled with horrific descriptions of being aboard a slowly sinking ship. Starting from this human perspective, then, Thomas J. Oertling traces the five-hundred-year evolution of a seemingly mundane but obviously important piece of seafaring equipment--and tells the story of nautical innovation--in this one of a kind history of the ship bilge pump. Beginning with early sixteenth-century documents that recorded bilge pump design and installation and ending at...

The Big Ditch: Manchester's Ship Canal
ISBN: 9780752428116 / Angielski / Miękka / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The history of the MSC can be traced to the Stone Age. When the MSC was being constructed in the 1880s, dug out canoes were discovered at two locations throughout its length, where a river previously existed. The owners of these canoes could not have had any direct bearing on the canal as it is today, but the discovery may indicate that the importance of the rivers Mersey and Irwell was recognised when mankind was in its infancy. This book provides a history and guide to the Inland Waterways System around Manchester, chartering their development from ancient beginnings, to their importance in...

Maritime Economics 3e
ISBN: 9780415275576 / Angielski / Twarda / 816 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For 5000 years shipping has served the world economy and today it provides a sophisticated transport service to every part of the globe. Yet despite its economic complexity, shipping retains much of the competitive cut and thrust of the "perfect" market of classical economics. This blend of sophisticated logistics and larger than life entrepreneurs makes it a unique case study of classical economics in a modern setting. The enlarged and substantially rewritten Maritime Economics uses historical and theoretical analysis as the framework for a practical explanation of how shipping...
