"Pounder's has been one of the classic references for the marine industry. I would definitely recommend having this eighth edtion of Pounder's on an engineering bookshelf, especially if there isn't a seventh edition on that shelf. SNAME News - July 2004

"The eighth edition of this guide contains new chapters on gas turbines, monitoring and control systems, and safety and environmental aspects of engine operation... this guide should continue to be essential reading to students of marine engineering" - The Motor Ship, July/August 2004

Review of Previous Edition

"The book is well illustrated throughout with line drawings and photographs, and reference is aided by a comprehensive index. The authority of Pounder remains intact... like its predecessors, can be recommended as an essential guide to modern marine engine design and operation." Motor Ship

"The eighth edition of this text enables readers to access the information they require by providing high-quality, clearly labeled illustrations and figures. Each new edition has noted the changes in engine design and the infleuence of new technology and economic needs on the marine diesel engine." - Sea Technology July 2004
