Summary "Oceans, Revised Edition provides a comprehensive overview of the significant issues confronting this unique environment. This updated and expanded edition takes an interdisciplinary approach to the largest biome on Earth - the saltwater environment that covers some 70 percent of the planet's surface - and considers the geography, geology, chemistry, and physics of the oceans; the ocean-atmosphere as a system; and the ocean's inhabitants. These subjects provide a scientific context for the human and biological interactions that are explored throughout the book."
"Oceans, Revised Edition contains more than 100 four-color line illustrations and full-color photographs, as well as a glossary, a detailed list of print and Internet resources, and a helpful index; and is essential for high school students, teachers, and general readers who seek comprehensive information about how the world's ecosystems function and the effect humans have on the species of animals and plants that compose them."--BOOK JACKET.
