Speaking as an educator, this is a useful and welcome resource for those who plan on using this book as a class text … I would recommend this book to anyone who wishes to gain an understanding of some of the fundamental ideas that underpin our current thinking about the dynamics that govern the large-scale circulation. I would also recommend it as a graduate-level text for a dynamics-based physical oceanography class.' Andrew M.
