"This book will provide the reader with an entry level introduction to some of the key themes of living and working onboard a commercial ship. It touches on a vast array of subjects, all of which are designed to ‘open the door’ for the reader, who may then go on to read more technically advanced texts."-- Hossein Enshaei, Australian Maritime College
