Dimitrios Dalakalis is an assistant professor at the World Maritime University who has written a book on electronic navigation equipment, and is currently preparing a proposal for us on maritime security.

Dimitrios no longer teaches at this level, but has done in this past. He sees this book as supplementary reading, and would like to see a series of primer books in the future, each one covering an aspect of maritime studies, all with a lecture notes and exam aid feel to them.

Likes:

• Simplicity and focused content
• Really enjoyed the integration of solved/unsolved problems
• Really liked the top-tips section.
• Style in general is strongly recommended for students by Dimitrios
