Synopsis
Excerpt from Founders of Oceanography and Their Work: An Introduction to the Science of the Sea
Finally, I would add that this book is associated in my mind with the memory of my wife - the constant companion by land and sea, in work and play, of close on thirty years who helped me to establish the University Department of Oceanography, who encouraged me to give the course of lectures and frequently urged me to prepare them for publication, and whose helpful criticism of the material in its present form would have been invaluable.
