I used this book for a class, and really enjoyed reading it. I also love that it's a paperback - much more lightweight and (hopefully) helped bring the price down.

This book was a good choice and it will be very useful. I recommend for all customers interested by the ocean

It's an interesting and engaging book. It gives lots of details, examples, and pictures but it isn't overwhelming.

Required textbook - I'm not personally interested

It made marine bio more enjoyable
