Excellent review for Oceanography: An Invitation 
The book is just what I was looking for, and it arrived very promptly (in time for me to use it for the first day of my spring quarter class!) and was in excellent condition.

blah 
This book took over two weeks to arrive. There is lots of writing in the book and the description did not mention that. Overall I was not satisfied with the book. I needed it for a class and got the book 6 days before the midterm.

Oceanography is fun
I bought this book for my Oceanography class and compared to other Oceanography texts I've come across, this book is definitely more concise and better organized.

Everyhting you need to know as an intro to marine science
This book is very well laid out. I am a teacher and would absolutely recommend this as an intro textbook to marine science. It contains all that you would need to know. great as a first year colledge text or even an advanced high school textbook.
