none of the chapters is long, most are short, and the majority are a fairly easy read ... It is a book for dipping into for reference Ocean Challenge This attractively produced book is just what the title indicates. It guides us through the varied and intricate fields of ocean science with the aid of a multitude of coloured graphs, images and photographs and an accessible text. Everyone with an interest in marine science should have a copy. That there is hardly a significant branch of deep-sea oceanography not referred to somewhere in this book testifies to the breadth of expertise at the Centre.
