Invitation to Oceanography - Softcover
Thoroughly updated to include the most recent and fascinating discoveries in oceanography, the Fifth Edition takes great strides to be the most up-to-date, comprehensive, and student-friendly resource available today. Its content continues to span the four major divisions of ocean science: geology, chemistry, physics and biology, while maintaining the conversational voice for which it is acclaimed. The Fifth Edition boasts many exciting updates, including a new chapter on global climate change that educates students on global warming in the 21st century and its likely impact on ocean systems. With new end-of-chapter questions, new color photographs and illustrations, and an expanded assortment of Selected Readings, Invitation to Oceanography is a must-have in any marine science classroom!

Review:
This is an excellent book for students. There are many ways for them to study the contents and to check their knowledge by using the key concepts and question sections. The book is so well written that a major part of it can be a self-study for the students. During the lectures this will give ample time for additional information. --Lecturer in Marine Systems, Wageningen University, The Netherlands
