Recenzii

Captain Robert Hone - Plymouth University School of Marine Science and Engineering
What are the strengths of the current edition?
Very good comprehensive coverage of wide range of subjects.
Excellent colour photographs
Easy to understand diagrams – also in colour.
Good notes in margin
With regards to the content of the book in a new edition, which topics need to be updated or added to? Does anything need to be removed?
A good "Mix" of Seamanship topics – hard to identify a thread – the book could be reduced into two volumes...but would this help? Its good to have eclectic range.
Does it need the Rule of the road section? –this covered in several other books.
Mark Shiner (and team) - Head of Maritime Studies, Orkney College
What are the strengths of the current edition?
As always this is an excellent reference work. Traditionally laid out and very easy to access. I have compared it with Witherby’s new book "21st Century Seamanship" and House is, in many respects, far better. The Wetherby book tries too hard, misjudges the depth needed in such a compendium work and leaves you thinking you have only had a taster. House goes that little bit deeper and seems to give confidence via its written style. You feel that you are getting paired down, solid seamanship with House’s book.
With regards to the content of the book in a new edition, which topics need to be updated or added to? Does anything need to be removed?
Add/expand:
Dynamic Positioning.
Alternatively fuelled vessels such as LNG,CNG and Hydrogen.
Human Element Limitations and Management issues.
Remove or annex:
Aspects of seamanship which are no longer used or permitted.
