 | Introductory Oceanography Product# 460679559 Selling for $125.4 "The 10th edition of this popular book continues to provide an excellent foundation in science by examining the vast body of oceanic knowledge. Spanning the disciplines of geology, chemistry, physics, and biology, it allows readers to have a fundamental understanding of how oceans work. Interwoven within the book are hundreds of photographs, illustrations, real-world examples, and applications that make the material relevant, accessible, and entertaining. Well-organized and clearly written, this book covers scientific inquiry and gives an historical look at the study of oceanography; the origins of life, the earth, and the oceans; plate tectonics; marine provinces; marine sediments; water and seawater; air-sea interaction; ocean circulation; waves, tides, and coastlines; biological productivity and the marine habitat; marine resources; and environmental concerns. This book is intended to help readers in their quest to find out more about oceans. Because of its comprehensive scope and excellent resource materials, it can also serve as an excellent reference work" |

 | Global Biogeochemical Cycles in the Climate System Product# 460767035 Selling for $114 "Summarizes the interaction and linkages between ocean, land and atmosphere in the overall global climate cycle. Emphasis is placed on carbon and nitrogen cycles, which includes the role of soils. Discusses the anthropogenic effects of imbalance in the cycles. For students, academics, and practicing scientists." |
 | Numerical Adventures With Geochemical Cycles Product# 460768086 Selling for $90 "The dynamic, evolving Earth, and the mathematical representation of its geochemical changes are the subject of this timely, helpful handbook. Global warming, changes in the ocean, and the effects of fossil fuel combustion are just a few of the phenomena that make the development of geochemical models critical. But what computational methods will help to accurately carry out this task? This new text teaches the methodology of computational simulation of environmental change." |
