Book Description
A noted physicist and popular science writer heads for the beach to answer common and uncommon questions about the ocean. James S.

Dr. Trefil draws upon his unique gift for clarifying complex scientific principles and the theories behind them to present a narrative that is clear, accessible, and utterly compelling. 1987 ed. 90 figures. 20 halftones.
