Marine Biology: A Very Short Introduction (Very Short Introductions) Paperback – Illustrated, 27 Feb. 2020

As someone who's applying tobstudy marine biology - this is a great intro book. Those complaining that the language is too technical...well, it IS a science book.There are some keywords and statistics that fly over my head but i genuinely think that it's an alright read. A good foundation in science helps - so if you remember a little of the stuff you learnt in GCSE, it's alright.

Excellent little book!. A real insight into the marine world. As a marine Aquarist for over 2 years, and having read so much on the subject, this little book has given me so much more valuable information that any website or publication..... highly recommended for novices or advanced aquarists.

I had some read out loud moments where I just had to share what I found out. Very interesting and easy to understand.

I am studying an ocean sciences course at university and this book is a fantastic book to get some basic knowledge. I would recommend for anyone as it is easy to understand and a fun read! Plus arrived within a day which is always nice.

I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend- he's a fishmonger and has developed a real interest in marine life. The book goes into a lot of detail without being overwhelming or overly complicated. A great starting point!

Good introduction to marine biology, I've read this to get a overall idea before starting the university course on marine biology, and have to say, this has a lot of detail, which is very useful.

I have read 30-40 books in the Very Short Introduction series and this is the first time I have been disappointed in the level of academic/scientific detail provided. Would suit late GCSE/early A level and would still be an "easy read", to give an idea.Also a bit repetitive in parts - the editing standard for other books in this series is significantly higher.Nonetheless, it is still a reasonable read.
