The Sea/Life Nature Library
"The Sea" is one of 25 volumes in the Life Nature Library which was published by Time-Life Books in the 1960s. Despite its age, this book is still a good, basic introduction to oceanography. The book covers the history of oceanography, the sea floor, waves, tides, currents, life in the sea, and how humans have used and will likely use the sea for food, energy, and minerals. Like other books in this series, there are many illustrations which supplement the reading. The chapter on sharks was especially fascinating. There is also an appendix of important dates in ocean exploration. If you want a highly readable, non-technical book on the ocean, then this book is for you.
