St. Martin's Press Publishes New Atlas On World Shipping The "World Atlas of Shipping," edited by W.D. Ewart and H. Ful- lard, is both an excellent atlas and an authoritative guide to shipping and the sea. The atlas begins with a detailed description of the sea, its composi- tion, movement, geography and life. This is followed by a history of the evolution of shipping and its craft, from the first seagoing vessels, through steam, to the modern diesel- using giants. Bulk carriers, tankers, modern and conventional cargoships are individually discussed, together with accounts of design, building, and equipment. The section concludes with a discussion of recent port de- velopments, waterways and world shipping lanes. The atlas section of the book has 128 pages of full-color maps show- ing both physical and political details of all parts of the world. An 84- page index acts as a guide to all the place names. This combination of maps and text, integrated with almost 150 illustra- tions and diagrams, makes the book a truly invaluable reference guide not only for those who are fasci- nated with the sea and its vessels, but also for every armchair traveler and adventurer. "World Atlas of Shipping" is available at $22.50 per copy from St. Martin's Press, Inc., 5 South Union Street, Lawrence, Mass. 01843. 8 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
