This new edition has been completely re-written and re-structured, while retaining the directness of approach and attention to essential detail that characterized its predecessors. There are new sections covering principles and theory, and engine selection, and important developments such as the use of high speed diesel engines (for instance in fast ferry craft) are treated in full. In addition, numerous illustrations of all the listed types of engines appear in their relevant chapters. After experience as a seagoing engineer with the British India Steam Navigation Company, Doug Woodyard held editorial positions with the institution of Mechanical Engineers and the Institute of Marine Engineers. He subsequently edited THE MOTOR SHIP journal for eight years before becoming a freelance editor specializing in shipping, shipbuilding and marine engineering. | |||
