Good in None jacket. No marks or damage from past owners, not a former library book, not a remainder or book club, not clipped, hardcover. There is wearing on the spine, fading on the cover boards, binding is a little loose, and the pages are discolored from age. This is the very first volume of the Modern Marine Enigneer's Manual, written by a group of marine engineers who volunteered their time in service of the United States Maritime Commission to aid in the training and development of the shipbuilding and seagoing youth of America. Summary (taken from Preface): The expansion of shipbuilding made evident about four years ago that there was need of an American text book on marine engineering that would adequately explain the design and operation of all the general types of marine equipment and at the same time should be written simply, to be easily understood. Because marine engineering was, and is advancing and changing so rapidly, it was necessary that a considerable amount of theory be included in order that the student be prepared to understand future developments in the field of marine engineering. There was thought too, that for effective use ni this time of stress, it would have to be widely distributed among the shipyard and seagoing personnel. This meant that the price of the book had to be such that the men could pay. All books shipped within 24 hours with U.S. Postal Service Delivery Confirmation, each order is packaged in a new box with bubble wrap, and always your satisfaction is guaranteed.
