Pounders Mairine Diesel & Gas Turbines
An excellent volume and a worthy successor to the eighth edition. This edition was published in 2009 so obviously it's aa fight to keep everything up to date but a brilliant voulme to use as a reference work for engines in all applications.

Masterpiece
Decades passed since the first edition, however, not published yet another textbook specifically for the marine engines could stand in a comparison with this masterpiece. It’s a piece of art must decorate all marine engineers’s private libraries.
