About this product

Product Information

This fifth edition covers the basics of marine biology and takes a global, non-regional perspective to emphasize that the world' s oceans and seas are an integrated system that cannot be understood by looking in any one person's own backyard. For many students this is a new perspective. One aspect of this global approach is the deliberate inclusion of examples from many different regions and ecosystems so that as many students as possible, not just in North America but around the world, will find something relevant to their local areas or places they have visited. This introductory, one-semester text is designed for non-majors.

Readable, well illustrated, polished
Vividly illustrated and organized. I am a SCUBA diver who was interested in learning more about the underwater life. I am not disappointed and think this is a good book outside any college course and especially good for self learners. Do not pay $100 for this book. I found it much less expensively on Ebay!

for beginners
Very colorful and interesting book. It is a bit too simplistic and explains everything for beginners (some molecules, habitat, niche) perfect for people who just start learning about biology and ecology.
