Description

  • The ONLY textbook available on marine mammal physiology, a core topic in Marine Science undergrad teaching
  • Builds on the unique overall theme 'How would you design a marine mammal?' which focuses on what an undergrad student would actually want to know. What would they ask? So rather than "What are the biochemical differences between marine and terrestrial mammals?" the book addresses "How can marine mammals dive for such a long time?" or "How do they stay warm in such cold water?"
  • Organises the Table of Contents into common 'real' student questions. The book thus centres around the point of view of the student. This makes it accessible and student-focused.
  • Consistency across all chapters
  • Provides consistent Power Point slides that teachers can use when they don't know the field well AND that students can use as study guides.
  • Offers Study Questions and future thinking/implications questions. A Driving Question for each chapter is highlighted in a box.
  • A concluding chapter ties up loose ends and consolidates the driving questions from the individual chapters.
  • Contains the contributions of well-respected, prominent scientists in the field. Author bios for each chapter showcase diversity in contributor pool.
  • Focuses on physiological adaptations of marine mammals and connects them with the ecological context, including anthropogenic impacts.
  • Discusses differences that might exist by type of marine mammal, development questions, and behavioral issues.
