Reviews
"Excellent coverage of benthic life, integrates and synthesizes complex principals in a manner that is very clearly presented".--Molly O. Ahlgren, Sheldon Jackson College--Sitka, "A complete compendium of current and pertinent information, with a useful chapter-end bibliography for in-depth readings. The text has a refreshing approach and a strong organismal focus. I find the section on Biodiversity particularly useful to understanding the integrated complexity of themarine system."--Gary Laursen, University of Alaska, "An excellent, broadly-based text that can be easily understood byundergraduates."--John Valentine, University of South Alabama, "Excellent coverage of benthic life, integrates and synthesizes complexprincipals in a manner that is very clearly presented".--Molly O. Ahlgren,Sheldon Jackson College--Sitka, "A thorough and accurate text, most suitable for a senior level course for students with a year of biology."--Alan Kohn, University of Washington, "...clearly written and illustrated--a modern synthesis that should inspire students to make marine biology their career. Thoroughly recommended."--David Nichols, New Scientist, "A thorough and accurate text, most suitable for a senior level course forstudents with a year of biology."--Alan Kohn, University of Washington, "I like your new Marine Biology book. It's the first appropriate-level text I have found for undergraduate students, very readable and well illustrated. I tried four different texts over the past five years, and this is the first one that the students and I agree is quality. I especially likethe discussions of marine biology principles and the up-to-date discussions of pertinent literature. Congratulations on an excellent book."--Gary R. Gaston, University of Mississippi, "This is the text that many marine biologists will wish they had written,and is just what I would expect from this author--levels of organization rangingfrom molecules to ecosystems, and time scales from tidal cycles to eons.Levinton gives a good introduction to the physical factors in diverse marineenvironments, and really shines when describing the physiological, functionaland morphological characteristics that have been shaped by theseenvironments."--J. Malcolm Schick, University of Maine, "The book is full of many good examples and illustrative material. It is written in such a way as to capture the imagination of the beginning student. It achieves the author's objectives, and would certainly become a major text. It is fun and exciting reading!"--Alan E. Stiven, University ofNorth Carolina at Chapel Hill, "...clearly written and illustrated--a modern synthesis that shouldinspire students to make marine biology their career. Thoroughlyrecommended."--David Nichols, New Scientist, "This is an excellent book! I am very impressed with the breadth ofcoverage and the amount of substantive biology, especially ecology, thatLevinton has incorporated into the text without sacrificing clarity andreadability. An impressive treatment suitable for a range of undergraduatecourses!"--Larry McEdward, University of Florida at Gainesville, "This is an excellent book!

Synopsis
Written by one of the most highly respected researchers in marine biology, this text is the most current and accessible treatment of all aspects of this interdisciplinary field. Marine Biology aims to heighten students' inherent fascination with the ocean and marine life and describes in an easily understandable manner the biological principles which govern marine biological systems. It introduces the rich diversity of the marine environment by focusing on three major themes: 1) function, the way organisms solve problems and the chemical and physical factors affecting these solutions; 2) biodiversity, an overview of the various life forms in the ocean; and 3) ecology, the interaction of organisms with their environment. Designed for undergraduate courses at the sophomore to senior level, the book is designed to help students approach a great variety of material. Supplemented by suggestions for further reading, a glossary of important terms, text boxes highlighting significant equations and concepts, review questions at the end of each chapter, and an abundance of illustrative examples and visual material, this text is a fascinating introduction to marine biology which is both accessible to and captivating for students of marine biology, marine ecology, and marine science., Written by one of the most highly respected researchers in marine biology, this text is the most current and accessible treatment of all aspects of this interdisciplinary field.
