This work surveys the ocean's physical makeup, dynamics, and life, explaining salt composition, global basins, currents, winds, and ice formations, and describing sedimentation, coral construction, and deep-sea habitats. It summarizes methods and discoveries from marine research, presents the variety of marine organisms from microscopic diatoms to whales and crustaceans, and discusses fisheries and human uses of the sea. Organized into thematic chapters, it balances natural history, geology, and oceanography for general readers, combining observational accounts, scientific explanations, and descriptions of exploration to convey the ocean's processes and abundant life.
