Rezensionen

'The authors have done an admirable job. I will happily recommendthis text to my students and colleagues.'
K J Flynn, University of Swansea

'I have used 'Dynamics of Marine Ecosystems' extensively for myundergraduate oceanography teaching to students from widelydifferent scientific backgrounds. The students found theexplanation of the physical processes in this book to be at justthe right level, being advanced, up-to-date and clear, but withouta lot of complex mathematics. The formulae contained in the bookare simple summaries of the physical processes and are easy touse.'
Paul Russell, University of Plymouth

"The book is comprehensive, properly organized, thoroughlyresearched, thoughtfully synthesized and very well written. . . Thebook should be mandatory reading not just for senior undergraduateand graduate students . . . but also for those empowered to set upand implement policy for ocean governance."
