I had to use this book for my Introduction to Oceanography class for my college course. It was a nice read. Very informative and nicely detailed. Some parts were rather dull, but still provided vital information and perfect for an introduction to the oceanography genre. I love the extra little details such as a section which states information that "students usually ask". This answers modern questions associated with current events and topics. Overall, a good book.
