Stability & Trim for the Ship's Officer
by William E. George
William George the author of STABILITY AND TRIM FOR THE SHIP'S OFFICER 4th Edition. An Audio Overview and Multiple Choice Questions have been made for each Chapter of the Book. The Audio Overview is a discussion by two people that follow all the chapters in the book. They are not just reading the book like an audio book. If you read and study the book you may find the Audio Overviews make learning the material easier because you are listening to a conversation about the book. At the end of each Chapter you will also find multiple choice questions that were never published because there was a page limit to the 4th Edition.

Audio Overview: The "Actual vs. Assumed" Paradigm in Vessel Stability
In my years of investigating maritime casualties, I have found that the most dangerous distance on a ship is the gap between the "assumed" stability on the screen and the "actual" physical reality at the waterline. This conflict defines the difference between a successful voyage and a total loss....
