FEATURES
Marine Biology features a global, non-regional perspective. That the world's oceans and seas function as a vast, integrated system is among the most important messages of this book. One aspect of this global approach is the deliberate inclusion of examples from many different regions and ecosystems, so as many students as possible will find something relevant to their local areas.
Presentation of geological, physical, and chemical properties of oceans (at a non-majors level) as they relate to marine biology. This central theme is repeated throughout the text.
Multiple learning aids throughout text include: Boxed Essays, Key Concept Summaries, Glossary, Critical Thinking Questions, and Further Reading References.
A dynamic text-specific, password protected Online Learning Center web site features quizzing, hot links, Do-It-Yourself Summaries, Sample Syllabi, regional case studies, lab exercises, video footage, and more!
