Marine Biology For The Non-Biologist

If you’re interested in marine biology I HIGHLY recommend this book. It’s an easy read and very informational.

Muy buen libro, es fácil de leer y si eres principiante en la biología marina o aspirar a ser bióloga marina es lo ideal para ti

indeed an introduction into biology. but what I really miss is a bit of structure. It reeds like a pack of statements and funny facts (like the incredible ocean book from the same author - sometimes even the same text), but what is the pedagocal idea behind it? the first chapters describe some different genera. Interesting but why not start with an introduction or some sort of overview? then the author jumps to coral reefs, thermal vents and polar sea environments. Ok, and in the polar chapter also some mammals and birds are described, but why only the polar specific ones? aren't they also part of the other marine ecosystems around the globe? Oh and somewhere inbetween there is a chapter about toxins.. ?It feels like the author just wrote down all that he knows from his experience (quite impressive I must say), but this is only part of what marine biology is about. So a lot is not described, and it leaves the reader (at least me) with a lot of question marks ...

As titled. I have not read it so this comment applies to the condition of the product as received. It is readable - if one abandons the convention in English text of reading from front to back
