Hard Cover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Illustrated (illustrator). Second Edition Revised and Expanded. Paramus: Backbone Publishing: 1995. 4to x 16" wide. Second edition revised and expanded. 277 pp. Dr. Ilya P. Romanov was a true Polarman. In more than forty years of Arctic expedition and observational science, Dr. Romanov experienced all aspects of Arctic field operations and Arctic science: airborne hydrographic and sea ice surveys; drifting ice station science and logistics; and shipbased oceanography and ice navigation. Early in his career, he recognized the scientific merit of a long-term systematic program to measure geometric properties of sea ice and snow cover throughout the Arctic Basin and marginal seas. Maps and diagrams throughout. Repaired tears to dust jacket, some soiling on pages edges. Very good in very good dust jacket, protected with a fresh archival-quality mylar cover.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Backbone Publishing, 2007. 8vo. Pictorial boards, 227 pp., illustrated throughout. This monograph presents systematic and detailed results of studying the hydrodynamics of ships in shallow water. This problem is increasingly important in view of the current trend of building larger and faster ships, for which shallow water effect manifests in greater water depths. The author explains in detail how ship performance declines in shallow water at speeds approaching critical speed, and how attempts to boost the engine propulsion can be wasteful if the ship is not designed for optimal regimes at subcritical speeds with ability to transit to supercritical regimes. Bump to corners, else new. Very good.
