Essentials of Oceanography Tom S Garrison 9780840061553 Books Reviews
- I purchased this textbook for a class I'm taking on ... Oceans! Conveniently, this book is JUST about oceans and things that affect oceans, so it's perfect! Now, no spoilers here, but oceans are really really interesting and full of life and things and critters that you never thought you'd see! And probably won't!
This book is the perfect companion to an Oceanography course, or to take on a long sail boat trip across... the Oceans! If you JUST take this book with you, you'll probably die. It's pages are not tasty and, while very fiberous, will not provide adequate nutrition for a long ocean journey. Bring food. And water. This book will not teach you how to fish, but you could probably use a lot of the information to figure out where exactly on the ocean you might be based on currents and what you find when you dive to the bottom (submarine optional but recommeneded).
All in all, a great textbook on oceans! - It is unfortunate that when reviewing this textbook there are not two pieces to the rating. As far as the author is concerned and how interesting he made this textbook I would give him 6 stars out of 5. One of the best written textbooks I have encountered. The language is simple enough that a non science major can understand. I found the reading of the book a delight, and I was learning much as I progressed.
The publisher should be put in jail as far as I am concerned. Whenever a review question is asked a box marketing cengagebrain.com shows up telling the student to go buy the answers. I discovered if I wanted all the information being presented in this textbook I need to buy the E-Companion for about $60. Paying $200 for the cheaply bound paperback book is evidently not enough. If I had bought the book used I would be more sympathetic to Cengage, but I bought it new from .
Ultimately I am left feeling like I had been to a seminar that was supposed to teach my something and instead I was told I needed to buy additional services to really learn what the seminar advertised. - What the hey man, I'm expecting to have a PDF show up and I get this reader crap. I can't read this s stupid book reader because of my disability so I have pdf's read to me via my iMac.
Imagine being a student and not able to study because you want me to buy some proprietary reader that when I do download it won't help me learn.
Um thanks no. Refund Now, I need a PDF. - I ordered Essentials of Oceanography as a reference book to expand what I was getting from a Teaching Company Course in Oceanography. I have only used it twice to provide additional information. I was well pleased with what I read on both occasions, but never expect to read it cover to cover.
- Paperback textbook arrived in worn state with some writing within and noticeable cover damage but it was legible and all pages and coverings were still attached in place.
- Got this for a college class and I love the savings and convenience of renting. Saved me lots of $$ this semester! )
- I needed it for my class, and it's doing a good job of being the book I needed for class.
- great book.
