Garrison brings focus and excitement to students' natural appreciation of the complexities of the ocean with integrated technology and a stunning visual program. Drawing on his more than thirty years of teaching experience, Garrison is intent on writing for how students learn best: he is the only oceanography author to consistently consult students about each new edition and incorporate their suggestions, creating a dynamic, current student focus. He provides students with a basic understanding of the scientific questions, complexities, and uncertainties involved in ocean use and the role and importance of the ocean in nurturing and sustaining life on the planet. Also, with a feel for students' excitement at discovering connections, Garrison increases the emphasis in this edition on the interdisciplinary nature of marine science, stressing its links to biology, chemistry, geology, physics, meteorology, astronomy, ecology, history, and economics. To further enrich the student experience, this edition is now fully integrated, on a concept level and with book-specific interactivities, with a FREE brand-new, student tutorial system called OceanographyNow. OceanographyNow is Web-based, assessment-driven, and completely flexible, offering a personalized learning plan based on each student's quiz results to help students focus on the concepts they don't yet understand. Enhanced illustrations, seamless integration of online resources, and a rich suite of student resources (with an optional regional emphasis) complete the Garrison learning experience. "This text is a must for any student searching for a detailed, yet easy to understand introduction to science." - Tanya Johnson, President of Associated Students at Skyline College, on Garrison's OCEANOGRAPHY. |
Average Customer Rating:   Easy purchase I purchased a used college book and it was mailed directly to my home within days of purchase. The book is in good shape and well worth the savings rather than purchasing the book new. 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. fast shipping the seller did an excellent job sending the book. i received it a week after i ordered it, as it was estimated 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. |  |
