This textbook is very well written. It is ubnderstandible to students and others of all ages and interests. It contains intersting color pictures and graphics about the subject material for each chapter. Each chapter also contains web links to a homepage that accompanies the book. The book is full of intersting personal stories, history, theory, and facts. Dr. Garrison and all who have contributed to this book have set the standard for textbooks and integrated learning for the next decade.

I bought this book for my Oceanography class and compared to other Oceanography texts I've come across, this book is definitely more concise and better organized.

This book is very well laid out. I am a teacher and would absolutely recommend this as an intro textbook to marine science. It contains all that you would need to know. great as a first year colledge text or even an advanced high school textbook.

This book is able to do something extremely difficult. It brings not only the basics of a comprehensive area but it goes further. All this accompanied of amazing illustrations, pictures and an easy to understand writing. The book is ideal for those who need to be introduced to the oceanography and the ones who want to evolve their knowledge about the ocean as a hole, because even biology, chemistry and physics being separate areas of expertise they are not apart in the environment.

I go to the Junior High School (8th Grade) but I think this is one of the books I've ever read. Thank you Garrison!

I found this textbook to be very helpful in my oceanography class. The text is easy to understand and the figures are colorful and
insightful

The book's quality is very good. Quality cover, quality papers & prints, unlike many other books. The contents are very well written. The terms are not very heavy on vocab, so that you actually understand what you're reading. A lot of pictures. Decent explanations. Overall, I have no complain. Great book!

This textbook is beautiful. So many full page pictures of the ocean and ocean life. The only thing that I was disappointied about was that it can't be re-sold very easily because the code that comes with it is a one time use thing... Not a big deal though.
