Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Introduction to Oceanography: With Special Reference to Geography and Geophysics
Although an attempt has been made here to deal in a general way with the science of oceanography, it is rather with the outlook of the student of geography and geology that the book has been written. Even then the method of treatment is as general as possible, so that it is hoped that a summary account of marine science from the physical side has been provided, and that it will be useful not only to those whose main interest is in geography and geology but also to biologists - who, it may be noted, have mainly been responsible for the development of our science of oceanography.
