Reviews
The authors provide a concise introduction to physical
oceanography and the biodiversity of oceans. Two major themes running
throughout this book are the interactions between humans and the
oceans--we are the primary reason the oceans are threatened--and
the oceans' primary role in regulating the global climate system.
The book ends with both dark and bright visions of the future, depending
on how humans decide to interact with our oceans. This work is suitable
for the average reader interested in global climate change and the
future of the oceans. Summing Up: Recommended.
