From the Publisher

Based on the concept that nature is neither random nor irrational, this revised edition offers clarity, brevity, accuracy and a lively and interesting writing style. Using an inquisitive and explanatory approach, the book answers not only "what," but "how" and "why." Features new chapters on the history of oceanography and the tools used by oceanographers, materials and motion and marine biology. The final chapters are devoted to environmental and societal issues. Every chapter ends with a summary, a list of key terms, study and critical thinking questions plus suggestions for further reading. The layout and visual appeal have been improved by increasing the photos and artwork and adding more color.
