The 9th edition of Oceanography: An Invitation to Marine Science in partnership with the National Geographic Society provides students with a comprehensive understanding of the complexities of ocean use and the crucial role it plays in sustaining life on Earth. The latest edition introduces a new co-author, Robert Ellis, and emphasizes the science process with additional “How Do We Know?” boxes that explain the methods used in oceanography. The chapter on climate change has been updated to reflect the latest findings, while the newly renamed “Primary Producers” chapter contains more expanded coverage of marine biology. A test bank and instructor resources are also available for purchase. However, the PDF version may not include media content referenced in the product description or text.
