He embraced ideas that others discarded as readily as he rejected solutions others found indispensable. His path, like all innovators, was the uncommon one and his selfless sharing in Voyaging Under Power literally launched a thousand ships. This Fourth Edition of Beebe's classic draws on new ideas and the accumulated wisdom of today's yacht designers and experienced ocean voyagers to further Beebe's cause and liberate thousands more from the tyranny of dry land.\"\u003c\/i\u003e -- Michael Jones, Ocean Traveler, Ship Design Collaborator, and Proud Parent of Google Earth\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 448\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.91 x 9.25 x 7.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 11, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47388800188665,"sku":"9781265937195","price":66.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/2782\/3097\/files\/lbT20_W8tQ9781265937195_8356da4c-07c3-477f-a6e9-1b1844779e78.webp?v=1770211282","url":"https:\/\/bookscloud.io\/products\/voyaging-under-power-fourth-edition-paperback-2","provider":"BooksCloud Book Dropshipping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
