Publisher's Synopsis
""Biological Chemistry and Physics of Sea Water"" is a comprehensive book that explores the fundamental principles of the chemistry and physics of sea water. Written by Harvey, Hildebrande Wolfe, this book is a part of the Cambridge Comparative Physiology series and is an essential resource for marine biologists, oceanographers, and environmental scientists. The book begins by providing an overview of the chemical and physical properties of sea water, including its composition, salinity, temperature, and density. It then delves into the biological processes that occur in sea water, such as photosynthesis, respiration, and nutrient cycling. Throughout the book, the authors use comparative physiology to explore the similarities and differences between marine and freshwater organisms. They also examine the effects of environmental factors, such as pollution and climate change, on the chemistry and physics of sea water and the organisms that inhabit it. The book is organized into chapters that cover a range of topics, including the structure and function of seawater, the role of dissolved gases in marine ecosystems, the chemistry of marine sediments, and the impact of human activities on the ocean. Each chapter includes detailed explanations of key concepts, as well as numerous illustrations and diagrams to aid in understanding. Overall, ""Biological Chemistry and Physics of Sea Water"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the chemistry and physics of the ocean and the organisms that live in it. Its comprehensive coverage, clear writing style, and use of comparative physiology make it an ideal textbook for students and a useful reference for professionals in the field.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
