Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made

The Business of Shipbuilding thoroughly analyses vessel
construction, from material receipt and preparation, to final
outfitting. It explains the central role of computer technology in
the design process, the growing importance of supply chain
management for materials and services and the use of
subcontractors. Methods of measuring progress, productivity,
performance and the need for enforcing standards during
construction are also discussed. Through the use of practical
examples, The Business of Shipbuilding explains the structure of
shipbuilding in Japan, Korea, the European Union, China, Eastern
Europe and the Americas and places this in the context of the
economic and political climate of each region. Written in a clear
and concise style and illustrated throughout with diagrams, charts
and plans, The Business of Shipbuilding will be an invaluable
reference tool both for experienced shipbuilders and for
shipowners, managers, operators, brokers, insurers, lawyers,
universities, surveyors and equipment suppliers.
This book highlights the main features of shipbuilding management
which lead to successful completion of shipbuilding projects. A
brief review of the market context for the industry, its historical
development are given to explain how shipbuilding arrived at its
current structure. First pre-production including design, planning,
cost estimating, procurement of materials and sub-contracting.
Then, the production sequence outlines part preparation, hull
assembly and construction, outfitting and painting, testing and
completion. The importance of human resources and management
organisation are explained. Building a ship is a complex project,
so the principles of project management are described, first in
general terms and then with specific reference to their application
in shipbuilding. Finally managing the progress of a shipbuilding
project and achieving completion are emphasised.
This book highlights the relationship between independent and
dependent ship repairing variables of various combinations under
linear and nonlinear form using actual data collected from
shipyards. Independent variables refer to age, deadweight, cubic
number, principal dimensions, and type of ships. Dependent
variables refer to repairing time, docking time, repairing labor,
docking labor, hull blasting renewal area, hull painting renewal
area, pipe renewal length, structural steel renewal weight, and
structural steel renewal locations. Mathematical models are
developed involving appropriate variables using multiple linear
regression analysis technique for different combinations of
variables of ship repair. Adequacy of models is tested using
statistical parameters like coefficients of multiple determination
and F statistic (calculated and tabulated). Also, validation is
presented to determine the deviation of model value from the
observed value and their statistical parameters to justify the
adequacy of the respective estimate models. The book also
emphasises the importance of managing the labor force, reliable
data collection and an effective management information system to
manage this as well as keeping control of on-going repair
contracts.

"What Vesalius was to Galen, what Copernicus was to Ptolemy, that
was Lobachevski to Euclid." Lobachevski was the first to publish
non-Euclidean geometry. An unabridged printing, to include all
figures, from the translation by Halsted.
The battlefield of 17th Century Europe
On land, the Thirty Years War was fought primarily in Germany. It
was one of the most destructive conflicts Europe has experienced,
as great areas were laid waste by warfare and by foraging armies.
It was a religious war between Catholics and Protestants, but
inevitably the political interests of those embroiled within it
played no small part. The French Bourbons, the Hapsburgs and the
emergent Swedish empire clashed in a series of bloody conflicts in
the heart of the continent which are detailed and analysed within
this book. As the century drew to a close a new conflict impacted
upon the region. The War of the Spanish Succession drew new
protagonists onto the battlefield. Perhaps most notable among them
was one of Britain's most famous soldiers-John Churchill, Duke of
Marlborough. His campaign and victory at Blenheim-an example of
military genius-concludes this fascinating book
