Lntroduction

Jusc as "Ship Knowledge" was presmrcJ in a whole new manner, so roo is "Ship Srabilicy':

Due ro rhe advances in computer power and software, rhe authors arc able to present the material in a drasrica.lly dit: ferenr form from char of orhcr srabiliry textbooks, includ­

ing the o rder and app roach of topics.

The subject should inreresr coiJege and university stu­dents, as wd l as fishermen and sailors. Lack of knowledge abour stability means grear risk for the ship, crew, passen­

gers and environment. Thus, rh is comprehensive book suits a ll levels of ttaviga­

riona.l and sh ipbuild ing schools. All required copies arc addressed and can be easily undet·­

scood wirh help ll·om rhe many ill ustrations. The terminology and abbreviations conform to inccrna­

rional usage as much as possible, meaning that Maritime English is used.
