Hardcover
From the Publisher:
"The Oxford Companion to Ships and the Sea" is the most comprehensive and authoritative reference work of its kind. It covers every imaginable aspect of the seas and the vessels that sail on them, from exploration, steam propulsion, and tidal power to marine wildlife and archaeology: from the key figures, both real and fictional, associated with the oceans, to piracy, seamanship, and ship preservation.
Written by an international team of experts, this second edition has been thoroughly updated to include more than 2,600 accessible A-Z entries. It reflects in particular the changes in the design and environmental challenges, such as climate change and pollution, that face the seas and those who sail on them in the twenty-first century.
Illustrated throughout with hundreds of detailed line drawings and photographs, this "Companion" is an invaluable resource for anyone with a professional or amateur interest in sea life, and a treasure trove for those seeking to learn more about this diverse and fascinating subject.
