5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Resource,
By Alexander Laun (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States of America) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Introduction to Naval Architecture, Fourth Edition: Formerly Muckle's Naval Architecture for Marine Engineers (Paperback)
This work provides a qualitative approach to naval architecture, and is best coupled with "Introduction to Naval Architecture" (Gillmer and Johnson, Naval Institute Press). All information is well-presented, detailed, and organized. Although a mathematical interpretation of naval architecture is lacking within this resource, such information is adequately replaced by vivid description and the unique viewpoint of E.C. Tupper. This work is highly recommended for those individuals seeking a basic, non-mathematic approach to ship design; otherwise, the purchase of the Gillmer and Johnson reference is also necessary.
Please note: This is my opinion as a high school Senior completing an independent research project within the field of naval architecture.

This review is from: Introduction to Naval Architecture, Fourth Edition: Formerly Muckle's Naval Architecture for Marine Engineers (Paperback)
Naval Architecture is a big topic and it is easy to get lost in a sea of books that promise much but end up being filled with anecdotes and tales of the sea. Tupper's work is well structured, informative and immediately useful as an overview.
The book provides enough back ground information to understand the principles before the onset of formulas and mathematics. Perhaps the only small weakness is the treatment of fluid dynamics didn't develop as well as other concepts. Overall the book is very useful and sits beside my desk so that I can refer to it frequently - and after all isn't that the best recomendation for an introductory work. Thanks Eric.

Great resource!,
By cycle girl (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Introduction to Naval Architecture, Fourth Edition: Formerly Muckle's Naval Architecture for Marine Engineers (Paperback)
This is definitely my go-to book for understanding the general principles of naval architecture. The book is well-written and easy to understand. While very technical, it also very accessable. I think it should be a requirement for anyone in the field.
