Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Have you ever stopped to ask how the oceans-the most complex and unforgiving environment on Earth-are actually engineered? Not just sailed across, not just exploited, but deliberately designed, monitored, powered, protected, and transformed to support modern civilization? Have you wondered what really lies behind the ships that move global trade, the ports that never sleep, the offshore structures standing against waves and storms, or the digital systems quietly coordinating it all?What if ocean engineering is no longer just about steel and propulsion-but about intelligence, sustainability, resilience, and systems thinking?ENGINEERING THE OCEANS: Modern Marine Technology, Systems, and Applications for Sustainable and Smart Maritime Development invites you into that conversation-not as a passive reader, but as an engaged thinker questioning how the maritime world truly works and where it is heading next.This book does not ask you to memorize disconnected concepts. Instead, it challenges you to think like a modern marine engineer. Why are ships designed the way they are today? How do energy systems, structural design, automation, and environmental constraints interact in real operating conditions? What happens when digital technologies meet saltwater, corrosion, fatigue, and regulatory pressure? And how do engineers balance innovation with safety, economics, and environmental responsibility?Every chapter feels like a dialogue between engineering reality and future possibility. You are constantly prompted to ask: Is this system efficient? Is it resilient? Is it sustainable over its full lifecycle? And what trade-offs were made to get here?Rather than isolating ships, ports, offshore platforms, and ocean infrastructure into separate topics, this book treats them as parts of a single, interconnected maritime ecosystem. You explore how modern vessels are designed alongside smart ports, how offshore energy systems interact with subsea infrastructure, how data flows across oceans, and how decision-making is increasingly driven by integrated digital systems. The result is a holistic view that reflects how marine engineering actually functions in the real world.Are sustainability and performance really in conflict-or can engineering reconcile them?This book tackles that question head-on. From low-emission propulsion systems and renewable offshore energy to lifecycle engineering and environmental protection, sustainability is treated as a technical challenge, not a marketing slogan. You see how engineers quantify impact, manage risk, and design solutions that endure beyond short-term gains.You are also asked to consider the human side of ocean engineering. How do automation and autonomy change the role of the mariner and the engineer? What does safety mean when systems make decisions alongside humans? How should engineers design for operators, maintainers, and emergency conditions-not just ideal scenarios?This is a book for readers who want depth without obscurity, rigor without abstraction, and vision grounded in engineering discipline. Whether you are a practicing professional, an advanced student, a researcher, or a decision-maker working around maritime systems, the content speaks your language while pushing you to think beyond conventional boundaries.Most importantly, this book keeps asking you the same underlying question: If the oceans are becoming smarter, more connected, and more heavily engineered-are we ready to design them responsibly?If you are searching for a serious, forward-looking work that treats ocean engineering as a system of systems-technical, environmental, economic, and human-this book was written for you.Are you ready to question how the oceans are engineered today-and how they Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. What does it really take to move from simply using a database to truly engineering it with confidence, precision, and control? When your systems begin to scale, when performance bottlenecks appear under pressure, when replication delays threaten availability-do you rely on guesswork, or do you understand exactly what is happening beneath the surface?The PostgreSQL 18 Engineering Guide and Reference Manual by August Fendel is written for those moments when assumptions are no longer enough. It asks the same questions you've likely faced in production: Why is this query slow despite indexing?Why does memory tuning improve one workload but destabilize another?What really happens inside the engine when transactions compete, logs grow, or replicas fall behind?And more importantly-how do you respond with certainty?This is not a book built on surface-level explanations. It is constructed for engineers, architects, and serious practitioners who want to understand PostgreSQL as a system-its structure, its behavior, and its limits. If you've ever felt that documentation tells you what to do but not why it works, this is where that gap closes.Have you ever tuned configuration parameters and wondered if you were solving the root problem-or just masking it?Have you questioned how memory allocation decisions ripple across query execution and system stability?Have you needed to design a system that doesn't just work today, but continues to perform under unpredictable growth?This guide challenges you to think beyond settings and commands-to think in systems.You will explore how PostgreSQL manages data internally, how its architecture influences performance, and how its design decisions impact real-world workloads. You won't just read about replication-you'll understand when it breaks, why it lags, and how to make it resilient. You won't just configure security-you'll approach it as a layered engineering problem, balancing access, encryption, and operational safety.And what about automation? In a world where manual intervention becomes the bottleneck, how do you build infrastructure that configures, scales, heals, and upgrades itself?Can your database environment recover from failure without hesitation-or does it depend on human intervention at the worst possible moment?This book pushes you to confront those realities.It speaks directly to engineers who are building production systems-those handling real traffic, real failures, and real expectations. It asks: Are your backups truly reliable, or just assumed to be?Is your scaling strategy sustainable, or temporarily effective?Are your deployments repeatable, or dependent on fragile steps?Because in high-performance environments, uncertainty is the real risk.As you progress, you'll begin to connect the pieces: configuration, workload behavior, replication, scaling, and operational discipline. You'll start to see how each decision affects another, and how small adjustments can produce significant results when applied correctly.And perhaps the most important question: What would change if you fully understood your database system-not just as a tool, but as an engineered platform?This is where experience meets clarity. Where complexity becomes manageable. Where control replaces guesswork.If you are ready to stop reacting to database issues and start anticipating and engineering around them, then this guide belongs on your desk-not as a book you skim, but as a reference you return to whenever precision matters.Take the step from user to engineer.
