Title: Knights Modern Seamanship by John V. Jr. Noel, Arthur Melvin Knight ISBN: 0-442-26983-8 Publisher: Van Nostrand Reinhold/co Wiley Pub. Date: 1989 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $92.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.5 (4 reviews)
Rating: 3
Summary: A heavyweight champion past its prime
Comment: Knight's is indeed the professional standard omnibus for seamanship. It is an excellent comprehensive text for any mariner. That said, it is desperately in need of updating. The electronic navigation section lists systems no longer in use (Omega, LORAN), and treats GPS as a "future" system (although the editors do prophetically write that GPS receivers will drop in price until they are affordable by the average mariner).
Additionally,there are a disconcerting number of typographical errors present. I can only hope the editors are progressing on a 19th Edition.
Rating: 5
Summary: Essential Reference
Comment: This book is in the pilothouse of every ship in the US Navy. 'Nuff said.
I find it useful as a basic reference, for vocabulary, and for filling the gaps that Bowditch leaves.
The chapters are well laid out, the information is well indexed, and topics proceed logically. The illustrations are clear and useful.
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent! Best single text book for Master's Exam.
Comment: Best overview of professional seamanship. This book goes leagues beyond novice publications such as "Chapmans" and "Annapolis". The book begins with simple principles and builds the basic vocabulary as it progresses. It's easy to understand with good photos and illustrations. Great study text for the masters exam. Electronics section obviously outdated.
