This book introduces the theory of the structural loading on ships and offshore structures caused by wind, waves and current, and goes on to describe the applications of this theory in terms of real structures such as conventional ships, high-speed marine vehicles, barges, risers, buoys, fishing nets and gravity platforms.

This comprehensive text discusses the opportunities and challenges posed by offshore wind farms, focusing on the offshore environment and the technical aspects of their design and operation. With examples and exercises demonstrating practical applications, this is an indispensable resource for students, researchers and energy professionals.

Real statistical problems are complex and subtle. This text is about using regression to solve real problems of comparison, estimation, prediction, and causal inference, based on real stories from the authors' experience.

Geolog Henrik H. Svensen har skrevet flere prisbelønte bøker, og i denne boka forteller han den spennende historien om Norges bergarter. De gjør det mulig å forstå alt fra eksplosive vulkanutbrudd til dyrearter og landskap som for lengst er forsvunnet. Å forstå hva bergartene forteller oss, er også å bli kjent med hvordan landet vårt er blitt til. Forfatteren tar oss med gjennom flere milliarder år og viser hvordan landet vårt har vokst frem og blitt forandret, og ikke minst hvordan vi forholder oss til den geologiske tiden og jordskorpen vi bor på. "Et land av stein" er rikt illustrert, og vi stifter bekjentskap med rombeporfyr, skifer, granitt, eklogitt og en mengde andre kjente og ukjente bergarter. Boka er et funn for alle som er interessert i geologi og natur og som er nysgjerrig på hva landskapet rundt oss og grunnen under oss består av.
