Summary: This title covers the basics of marine biology with a global approach, emphasising that the world's oceans and seas are an integrated system that cannot be understood by looking in any one person's backyard and using examples from many regions and ecosystems worldwide. Marine Biology covers the basics of marine biology with a global approach, using examples from numerous regions and ecosystems worldwide. This introductory, one-semester text is designed for non-majors. Authors Castro and Huber have made a special effort to include solid basic science content needed in a general education course, including the fundamental principles of biology, the physical sciences, and the scientific method. This science coverage is integrated with a stimulating, up-to-date overview of marine biology.
