Rezensionen

From the reviews:
"It is ... a joyful romp through the history of oceanography that will appeal to both those in the field and those curious about it-touching not just on oceanography, but Earth sciences in general. ... So my recommendation is: Go ahead, get to know Walter. You'll be glad you did." (Jerome A. Smith, Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, December, 2011)
