This might be the greatest way to self teach a topic ever devised! You have to follow the instructions. What the authors want you to do is read along as you color the book. Each coloring page has an associated page of text. As you read the text it makes reference to certain parts of the drawing. You can't help but learn. The topics range over all areas and habitats of marine biology and hit all the key points covered in any introductory class. They are grouped by habitat, physiology, ethology and again by taxonomic groups. As far as learning style? If you where isolated in the middle of the dessert with this book and a decent set of color pencils then you would come out with an excellent broad base introductory knowledge of marine biology. It would go well with any beginners course also. Don't let the "coloring book" title fool you, a child of five wold enjoy it but an adult would be able to reap all the rewards as well.
Being a high school teacher, i use this book and the biology coloring book to supplament my class text. It offers very insightful text to accompany each picture. The pictures are very detailed with complete coloring instructions. I was skeptical at first to use it, but the students really get excited about it and seem to get a great deal from finishing them.
I am a Marine Bio major and have been searching for this coloring book for a little while now. You don't understand how happy I am that I have it. My highschool marine bio teacher/mentor used to use a few of these pages in her lessons. I learned so much from reading and coloring. I have wanted it ever since. My best friend is now going to buy one so we can color the whole book together.Highly recommended for anyone who loves the ocean. It has things on oceanography, different species, tidal zones, all sorts of fun stuff. I am thinking about bringing it out whenever company comes over. It will make an awesome conversation starter.
I am a college student who found this to be a great secondary resource. Many of the form and function and reproductive strategy summaries contain great information that I have not found in textbooks. The coloring pages are great too, if for no other reason than they reiforce what the organisms look like.
My first grade daughter has had it in her mind to become a marine biologist for the past 2 years. I decided for science this year we would delve into marine biology using this book. We have been working in it for 3 weeks. The text isabove her head, but works well with my 4th grader. My first grader is enjoying coloring the different ocean currents, and will love it when we get to actual sea life!!
As the author of The Complete Hawaiian Reef Fish Coloring Book and a school teacher, I know first hand, that coloring and learning go hand in hand. This book is great for all ages, younger children are challenged, older children and even college students are introduced to all types of marine ecosystems and their inhabitants. This book is complete, well written, educational and fun!I highly recommend this book!
My kids thought it was so-so (it's not really for kids) but it was great fun for this mom (maybe I'll be a marine biologist when I grow up)!
I'm majoring in Marine Biology and I first stumbled upon this book in Barnes and Noble and they wanted $20 for it, but I'm in college and money is kinda tight, so I looked for it online and bought this one. It's great. I haven't colored it yet.
