| Title: Advanced First Aid Afloat |
| By (author): Peter F. Eastman |
| ISBN10-13: 0870335243 : 9780870335242 |
| Since its first publication in 1972, more than 30,000 blue-water sailors have looked to this book when injury or illness struck at sea. Virtually every accident or ailment that might occur when professional medical care is unavailable is squarely faced and dealt with, using laymanâ s language and step-by-step instructions that calmly take the reader from diagnosis through treatment to follow-up care. The fifth edition brings this standard work up-to-date with current medical practice. While maintaining its ease of use for quick, easy reference in case of a medical emergency at sea, diagrams inside the front and back covers point the reader to the appropriate section of the book. Each section starts with a short account of a possible accident or sickness that might occur on a voyage, and then lists the steps to be taken by the caregiver. Photographs and diagrams accompany many of the procedures. Separate chapters are devoted to preparing a crew and the boat's medical chest for long cruises, including lists of drugs for which prescriptions are needed. A number of chapters deal with the unique needs of children. |

| Title: Maritime Firefighting |
| By (author): Captain Emil Muccin, Matthew Bonvento |
| ISBN10-13: 0764367544 : 9780764367540 |
| The most current and up-to-date handbook on the equipment, procedures, and techniques to fight maritime fires on any size of vessel. For too long, mariners have been using outdated books to train on and relying on one-to-three-day refresher courses that barely scratch the surface of the true scope of the hazards of shipboard fires. Contained herein is the culmination of years of research and industry collaboration to provide a fresh look at an old subject. Written by established experts in marine transportation and maritime regulatory compliance, Maritime Firefighting mixes the old with the new to present this new text on the topic with valuable and current information. The threat of shipboard fires has not gone anywhere, but how we fight and prepare for them has. |

| Title: Nontechnical Guide to Deepwater Drillships |
| By (author): Peter Tomdio |
| ISBN10-13: 0764366629 : 9780764366628 |
| A comprehensive guide to deepwater drillships covering everything that maritime and drilling experts, as well as the layman, need to know about these exceptional feats of engineering. Deepwater drillships are used to excavate, drill, and pump oil and other natural gases to the surface for later refining at other facilities. Provided here are the primary structures, equipment, and processes used by drillships. Because drillships are considered both drilling units and vessels, someone with a marine background will understand how drilling equipment works, and similarly someone with a drilling background will now know how the vessel aspect works. Also covered are the basics of marketing, the history of drillships, what the future drillship will look like, and technological advancements being made today. |
