'This book delivers comprehensive coverage of a subject that receives only partial coverage in other texts. The author's clear and accessible explanations make it an invaluable resource for undergraduates, while simultaneously offering insights beneficial to graduate students. This book offers the best introduction to marine dynamics available!' Carolyn Judge, United States Naval Academy
