About the book (from Preface):
The study of life in the sea and the conditions there prevailing has made very rapid advances within recent years. Beyond “The Depths of the Ocean,” written by Sir John Murray and Professor Johan Hjort, a book suited rather to the needs to advanced students, there is no modern work dealing in popular style with the science of oceanography as a whole…It is in the hope of filling a gap in the literature of natural history that these pages have been written.
