Oceanography and Seamanship

Rating:
Summary: Informative and definitely worth the price
Review: 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.

Summary: A wonderful book, very interesting re: boats and the sea
Review: 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.
