CRC Press, 2009. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. The 47th annual review of current research in oceanography and marine biology is intended for specialists in the field but should be read by all who realize that the oceans are an important indicator of changes in climate and ecology. Five of the six articles deal either with changes in the climate that are affecting the viability of sea life or unthinking human actions that have caused damage to the ocean's ecosystem. The first report is a comprehensive... more information
