Summary: "Oceanography is a study of the physical and biological properties and phenomena of the sea. The field breaks into multiple sub-disciplines, including biology, chemistry, physics, and geology. Invitation to Oceanography is a text built for the undergraduate introductory course in oceanography. Typically one semester (though could also be two), it is taken by mostly non-majors to satisfy a physical science elective. Now moving to its 8th edition, Pinet has experienced much success over the years due to its balanced writing, inclusion of topics that are interesting and relevant regarding our oceans, its level of detail, and inclusion of math (Science by the Numbers)"--
