Abstract
SVERDRUP, Johnson and Fleming have answered the demand for an up-to-date manual of oceanography with a comprehensive work, "The Oceans: Their Physics, Chemistry and General Biology". It is a large book with 1,087 pages, amply illustrated by text-figures and charts. It was published two years ago in the United States, but circulation to Great Britain was restricted until the end of last year.
