(74) is a lengthy and detailed compilation of hydrodynamic force coefficients for moored array com- 

 ponents of various shapes (cylinders, spheres, spheriods, streamlined bodies, etc.) and for cables and 

 cable fairings. The authors also make an assessment of the quality and quantity of the experimental 

 data that they include in their report. Solutions to a number of example problems are given in order to 

 illustrate the application of the data. 



The book by Berteaux (75) is intended to serve as a text for a graduate course in buoy engineer- 

 ing. Topics that are discussed include the mechanics of floating bodies, and the static and dynamic 

 analysis of mooring lines. Both single point moors and multi-leg systems are considered. The final sec- 

 tion of the book is concerned with the design of moored and free drifting buoy systems. Problems due 

 to corrosion, fatigue, strumming and fishbite also are discussed.
