Oceanography and Marine Biology, An Annual Review, Volume 40

A new edition of this thorough, comprehensive and respected review source for oceanographers and marine biologists. A must for every station, institute and university involved with marine biology.
The ever increasing interest in work in oceanography and marine biology and its relevance to global environmental issues creates a demand for authoritative reviews summarizing the results of research. "Oceanography and Marine Biology: An Annual Review" has catered for this demand since its foundation, by the late Harold Barnes, during the 1960s. Its objectives are to consider, annually, basic areas of marine research, returning to them when appropriate in future volumes; to deal with subjects of special and topical importance; and to add new ones as they arise. The 40th volume follows closely the objectives and style of the earlier volumes, continuing to regard marine sciences - with all their various aspects - as a unit. Physical, chemical and biological aspects of marine science are dealt with by experts actively engaged in their own field. The series should be a useful reference text for research workers and students in all fields of marine science and related subjects.
