From jacket: To most of ust the ocean means salt water, waves, seaweed and an uncertain percentage of fish. Yet actually the ocean is full of mystereis, involving a field of science which is staggering in its immensity and implications. It is a gigantic problem to compress between two covers even a brief summary of the science of the ocean...Yet this book gives us a real understanding of the ocean and the contributions made to our knowledge of it by all these sciences [Paleontology, botany, biology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, etc]....
