"Essentials of Oceanography, 13th Edition" is a comprehensive textbook that provides an in-depth introduction to the study of oceanography, aimed at college-level students. Authored by Alan P. Trujillo and Harold V. Thurman, it explores the physical, chemical, geological, and biological aspects of the world's oceans. The book covers key topics such as the structure and motion of ocean currents, the chemistry of seawater, the ocean-atmosphere relationship, marine ecosystems, and the human impact on marine environments. It also delves into contemporary issues like climate change, ocean acidification, and sea-level rise, linking theoretical concepts to real-world applications. The 13th edition is updated with recent research findings, new visual aids like diagrams and photos, and pedagogical features that make the content accessible and engaging, even for those with little scientific background. It is designed to not only impart factual knowledge but also to foster critical thinking about the role of oceans in the global environment. With its balanced approach, the textbook serves as both a learning tool for students new to oceanography and a reference for those pursuing advanced studies. Additionally, it provides a strong foundation for understanding the interconnectedness of Earth's systems, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in marine science and environmental studies.
