Reviews / Votes
"This is a most impressive reference; a carefully structured collection of facts and figures regarding the marine realm. . . a must for good reference libraries and would no doubt be useful for personal reference collections of undergraduate students or teachers of marine disciplines. I can imagine that I will use my copy extensively as a starting point for oceanographic inquiry."-Brendan J. Godley, Editor, Marine Turtle Newsletter
"This handbook will be a very valuable reference for students and professionals in all disciplines of marine science...Kennish did an excellent job of selecting appropriate tables and figures from journal articles and books, which he cited as footnotes below the table or figure for easy reference...This book is an encyclopedia of information on most every topic imaginable...The world has changed and books are expensive...this handbook is a bargain." -Gary R. Gaston, "Estuaries"
"...oceanography is truly multidisciplinary and unless you have the resident expert in the next office, it is particularly difficult to track down information in other subject areas which you don't know well, and herein lies the great strength of this book. It succeeds in providing a great deal of valuable information across many different disciplines which otherwise would be hard, or at least tedious, to find." -Martin Preston, Ocean Challenge
"...designed to serve the multidisciplinary research needs of contemporary marine biologists, chemists, geologists and oceanographers. Lots of tables and graphs with data on everything from lithospheric plates to lethal temperatures for fishes. An encyclopedia of marine information." - Fisheries, Volume 19, Number 10
"Broad coverage of the physical, chemical, and biological aspects of the marine realm, useful as a supplemental reference for undergraduate or graduate marine science courses."
