According to the authors, “Marine Biology is used by undergraduate, graduate, high school, and adult-education students, as well as by interested laypersons not enrolled in formal courses.
We are gratified that many professional marine biologists use the book. The book is used in many countries outside the United States, and has been translated into six other languages.
While keeping this range of users in mind, we have written the text primarily for lower-division, non-science majors at colleges and universities. For many of these students, marine biology will be their only tertiary science course, often taken to satisfy a general education requirement.
We have therefore been careful to provide solid basic science coverage, including principles of the scientific method, the physical sciences, and basic biology. Our aim has been to integrate this basic science content with a stimulating, up-to-date overview of marine biology.
We hope this approach demonstrates the relevance of the physical sciences to biology and makes all sciences less intimidating. To this end, we use an informal writing style that emphasizes an understanding of concepts over rigorous detail and terminology.
Four major themes run through Marine Biology. One is the above-mentioned coverage of basic science applied to the marine environment. Another is a focus on the organisms themselves, and their vast diversity not only in taxonomic terms but also in structure, function, and ecology.
The third theme is an ecosystem approach that integrates this organismal diversity with the challenges imposed by the surrounding environment, both physical and biological. A final theme that, unfortunately, becomes more urgent with each passing year is the impact of humans on the marine environment.
Marine Biology, twelfth edition, adopts a global perspective to emphasize that the world’s oceans and seas are an integrated system that cannot be understood by looking in any one person’s own backyard. For many students this is a new perspective.”
