With the continuous advancement of coastal, offshore, and deep-sea engineering construction (eg marine oil, gas, and mineral resource development, offshore wind power projects), associated studies on marine geological environments and hazards have also advanced in parallel. This book "Advances in Marine Engineering: Geological Environment and Hazards" is formed by a Special Issue (SI) that was organized by Prof. Xiaolei Liu from the Ocean University of China, Prof. Thorsten Stoesser from the University College London, and Dr. Xingsen Guo from the University College London to document research advances in the topics of marine engineering, including marine geological environments, marine geological hazards, marine engineering geology, marine hydrodynamics, marine fluid mechanics, and marine geotechnical engineering. The high-quality papers collected in this book involve many classic and innovative methodologies in this research field, including but not limited to analytical and statistical analyses, numerical simulations, laboratory testing, and marine surveys. The book represents the state-of-the-art in the latest research concepts, advanced methods, and data that will contribute greatly to the development of the field of marine geological environments and hazards.

The book gives a clear idea about the concept of gas turbines, thermodynamic basics of the turbine theory. It includes classification of gas turbines, working principle, structure feather, application and designing approaches of gas turbines. The readers will understand easily the power system for ships since there are a lot illustrations and instruction for each of equipment. It also introduces the thermal calculation of gas turbine unit, different structure feather of compressor, combustion chamber and turbine. It gives the way to increases the efficiency of the unit, design and operation of the gas turbine parts. The combined marine power plant with gas turbine is discussed and advantages and disadvantages for each type unit is discussed too.

This book is a selection of research papers presented in 5 consecutive International Ship Stability Workshops (ISSWs) managed by the STAB International Standing Committee in the period 2013–2019 (2013 Brest, 2014 Kuala Lumpur, 2016 Stockholm, 2017 Belgrade, 2019 Helsinki). ISSWs are a long-standing and authoritative series of international technical meetings in the field of stability of ships and ocean vehicles. The book is the fourth of a line of books started 20 years ago and having the main title “Contemporary Ideas on Ship Stability”. It focuses on the state-of-the-art ship stability criteria and covers topics such as ship dynamics in waves, roll damping, stability of damaged ships, model experiments, and effect of stability requirements on ship design and operation. This book helps the readers to understand the current state of the art in the field of ship stability and see how this comes into the development of modern criteria of ship design and operation.

"In most narratives of the history of global economic development, the Netherlands plays an early and leading role. Indeed, the Netherlands has maintained a leading position among the most wealthy nations since at least the fifteenthcentury. Adding to the literature on economic development, Maarten Prak and Jan Luiten van Zanden, bring new evidence to bear on our understanding of how institutions in the Netherlands fostered unprecedented, long term economic growth that changed the course of history. The authors argue that informal institutions had developed long before the statecreated the institutions commonly held to be decisive . These informal institutions -believed in Dutch folklore to have originated in the polders, tracts of low land reclaimed from the sea-demonstrate how private and semi-public organizations provided public safeguards for economic activity in the state's absence. The authors explore how cities, corporations, guilds, commons, and other civil society organizations were structured and how they delivered advanced levels of security for market transactions. The Dutch Miracle argues that it was this sociopolitical structure in which the early market economy of the Netherlands emerged and that enabled the country's almost uninterrupted long-term economic growth"--
