This volume presents an introduction to the science of the study of the seas. The initial chapters describe the oceans and the forces at work within them. The authors then discuss the effects of light, the chemistry of the seas and the food web before surveying biological oceanography in the main oceanic regions. The final chapter looks at the methodology of ocean study. Technical terms are kept to a minimum and are explained in a glossary.
