1. Introduction to Marine Biology (with InfoTrac) by
George Karleskint, Richard Turner, James Small,
Hardcover: 512 pages, Publisher: Brooks Cole
A textbook that distinguishes itself from other texts at
this introductory level by taking an ecological approach
to the study of marine biology, by providing succinct
coverage of key topics, and through the use of some of
the best illustrations and photos currently available.
The co-authors' experience in coastal environments
nicely compliments Karleskint's clear, concise
student-friendly writing style. Users will also discover
that the level of the text has been broadened with
additional coverage of plant, microbial, planktonic, and
animal biology. In support of this emphasis, new "In
Perspective" summary tables have been added to each of
the marine organism chapters to provide a summary of
important ecological and biological aspects of various
marine organisms. The textual material has been broken
into small paragraph sections with more headings for
ease of navigation, and "In Summary" statements have
been added to the end of each main heading within the
chapter, making it easy for students to check their
understanding before reaching the end of the chapter.
2. Introduction to the Biology of Marine Life by
James L. Sumich, John F. Morrissey, Paperback: 449
pages, Publisher: Jones & Bartlett Publishers
Engages students in the excitement and challenge of
understanding marine organisms and the environments in
which they live. Selected groups of marine organisms are
examined within a framework of basic biological
principles and processes that are fundamental to all
forms of life in the sea including taxonomy, evolution,
ecology, behavior, and physiology.

Hardcover, Publisher: McGraw-Hill
Science/Engineering/Math
This fourth edition covers the basics of marine biology
with a global approach using examples from numerous
regions and ecosystems worldwide. This introductory,
one-semester text is designed for non-majors. Authors
Castro and Huber have made a special effort to include
solid basic science content needed in a general
education course, including the fundamental principles
of biology, the physical sciences, and the scientific
method. This science coverage is integrated with a
stimulating, up-to-date overview of marine biology.
4. Practical Handbook of Marine Science, Third
Edition by Michael J. Kennish, Hardcover: 896 pages,
Publisher: CRC Press
As well as being a supplemental reference for
undergraduate or graduate marine science courses, this
book provides a comprehensive reference containing the
critical information necessary to meet the
multidisciplinary research needs of all marine
scientists, researchers, and anyone involved in managing
marine resources. Consisting of a user-friendly
multi-sectional format, this single volume databook
offers extensive, illustrative, and tabular reference
material covering all the major disciplines related to
the sea.
5. Biological Oceanography: An Introduction by Carol
Lalli, Timothy Parsons, Paperback: 320 pages, Publisher:
Butterworth-Heinemann
This popular undergraduate textbook offers students a
firm grounding in the fundamentals of biological
oceanography. As well as a clear and accessible text,
learning is enhanced with numerous illustrations
including a colour section, thorough chapter summaries,
and questions with answers and comments at the back of
the book. The comprehensive coverage of this book
encompasses the properties of seawater which affect life
in the ocean, classification of marine environments and
organisms, phytoplankton and zooplankton, marine food
webs, larger marine animals (marine mammals, seabirds
and fish), life on the seafloor, and the way in which
humans affect marine ecosystems.
