Description
Book SynopsisEver-increasing interest in oceanography and marine biology and their relevance to global environmental issues create a demand for authoritative reviews summarizing the results of recent research. Oceanography and Marine Biology: An Annual Review has catered to this demand since its founding by the late Harold Barnes more than 50 years ago. Its objectives are to consider, annually, the basic areas of marine research, returning to them when appropriate in future volumes; to deal with subjects of special and topical importance; and to add new subjects as they arise.
The favourable reception and complimentary reviews accorded to all the volumes shows that the series is fulfilling a very real need. Volume 54 follows closely the objectives and style of the earlier volumes, continuing to regard the marine scienceswith all their various aspectsas a unity. Physical, chemical, and biological aspects of marine science are dealt with by experts actively engaged in these fields.
Trade Review
This textbook provides a comprehensive review of the fields of oceanography and marine biology. While the authors go into great detail to explain the subjects in each chapter, thelanguage is straightforward and is adequately suitable for students at an undergraduate level and above. Each chapter presents a unique consideration for those studying the fields of oceanography and marine biology… Portions of the book may be helpful to those natural product chemists studying specific organisms (phytoplankton) or sites (SE Australia).
