"The text is sprinkled with discussions of bygone hypotheses or methods. Each discussion further impresses upon the reader science's fluid nature. Good! Texts of all levels should reinforce the idea that knowledge is dynamic. As science and scientists move away from the ivory tower and becomemore engaged in policy making, it is gratifying to see ecology texts such as this one with a heavy emphasis on environmental impacts; as it should be, fully 20% of the book is devoted to human imprints in the marine environment." --Limnology and Oceanography Bulletin, Volume 15 (3), September 2006, p53-54, At some point in their studies, most biology students will consider pursuing marine biology. This textbook will only strengthen that desire. Its content is engaging and suitable for both neophyte and more advanced biologists. Creative and accessible presentation. Strongly recommended., Review from previous edition: "This book is an original and well-integrated approach to the discipline, providing a fresh perspective to what is already a very popular scientific area. It breaks the traditional formats of previous textbooks and has put some careful thought into how to approachthe subject from a more modern and realistic viewpoint. ... an excellent introductory text which students will find easy to assimilate and will stimulate their interest in marine ecology." --Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, "This book is an excellent addition to the range of available marine ecology text books and has many advantages over its competitors, not least the fact that it is international in its covergae and not USA centered! I will certainly be using it as the main text book for basic marine biologycourses from now on." --Chris L.J. Frid, University of Liverpool, in Environmental Conservation, Vol 33 (2), 2006, "I would thoroughly recommend the text to fellow marine scientists and educators as it provided me with some much needed revision of subjects I had picked up incorrectly in the past. A major strength of this work, and one that sets it apart from the approach adopted by older marine ecologytextbooks, is the emphasis on human-induced impacts to the marine realm. This book will be of use to current practitioners and inform a new generation of marine scientists about major ways in which we are influencing the ecology of our seas." --Fish and Fisheries, Volume 7 Page 228 - September 2006, 'Review from previous edition This book is an original and well-integrated approach to the discipline, providing a fresh perspective to what is already a very popular scientific area.

Synopsis
The oceans cover the majority of the Earth's surface; they influence our climate and provide a valuable source of food to billions of people. Yet despite its fundamental impact on our lives, many aspects of the marine environment remain a mystery to us.Marine Ecology: Processes, Systems, and Impacts offers a carefully balanced and stimulating survey of marine ecology, introducing the key processes and systems from which the marine environment is formed, and the issues and challenges which surround its future. Opening with an overview of the processes and interactions which are central to an understanding of marine ecology, the book goes on to explore the diverse systems from which the marine environment is composed, from estuaries to seabeds, the deep sea to polar regions. The final section examines human activities that impact upon the marine environment - fisheries, aquaculture, pollution, and global warming - before considering measures that can be taken to mitigate their adverse effects on this complex, fragile environment. The importance of understanding and conserving the marine environment has never been more apparent. Marine Ecology: Processes, Systems, and Impacts is an essential resource for any student wishing to develop a well balanced, informed understanding of this fascinating subject.* Striking full colour illustrations and photographs bring visual impact to the material presented* Many detailed case studies enliven the text and add a further level of depth and insight* Key concepts and issues are treated from a global perspective, using examples from around the worldOnline Resource centreThe Online Resource Centre to accompany Marine Ecology: Processes, Systems, and Impacts features:For students:* Journal Clubs* Hyperlinked bibliography* Links to useful websites* Exam and essay writing adviceFor lecturers:* Figures from the book, available to download, The oceans cover the majority of the Earth's surface; they influence our climate and provide a valuable source of food to billions of people.
