Dr. Eddie N. Bernard
Director PMEL/NOAA
"The authors' writing style of providing thoughtful explanations for the non-scientist reader and the extensive use of examples makes the book especially attractive for use as a textbook for an introductory oceanography course."
"I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in an introduction to the complex world of oceanography. McGraw Hill and the authors should be very proud of this excellent educational product."

Professor Nancy Marcus
Florida State University
Past President of ASLO (American Society of Limnology and Oceanography)
"There are several reasons why the book represents an excellent reference text to introduce students to the oceans. Not only does it contain a wealth of information, both facts and concepts, but it also contains pointers to guide students towards additional resources."
"By giving students an opportunity to identify with the people doing oceanography, this section has the potential to motivate students to become active learners." [About "Going to Sea"]

Dr. Bill Nye
The Science Guy
"Because of its thoroughness, much of it will stand the test of time and be used by students long into their professional careers. Here's hoping more than a few students, who get hold of this text, take it to heart and become full time ocean scientists. We need them, and they can sure use this book."
