This book describes the development of ocean sciences over the past 50 years, highlighting the contributions of the National Science Foundation (NSF) to the field's progress. Many of the individuals who participated in the exciting discoveries in biological oceanography, chemical oceanography, physical oceanography, and marine geology and geophysics describe in the book how the discoveries were made possible by combinations of insightful individuals, new technology, and in some cases, serendipity. In addition to describing the advance of ocean science, the book examines the institutional structures and technology that made the advances possible and presents visions of the field's future. This book is the first-ever documentation of the history of NSF's Division of Ocean Sciences, how the structure of the division evolved to its present form, and the individuals who have been responsible for ocean sciences at NSF as "rotators" and career staff over the past 50 years.

1m Jahre 1915 hatte ich ein halb popnliires Werk, "Insektlivet i ferske Vande" ("Das Insektenleben im StiBwasser"), herausgegeben. In diesem Werke waren hauptsiichlich die Ergebnisse meiner eigenen Untersuchungen tiber Wasser insekten gesammelt, Ergebnisse, die damals schon fast aIle in einer Reihe von Arbeiten in ausliindischen Zeitschriften veroffentlicht waren; im tibrigen war das Buch auf der gesamten, den Gegenstand betreffenden Literatur aufgebaut. In der Zeit von 1900. bis 1915 sind ferner noch Arbeiten tiber verschiedene andere StiBwasserorganismen, in erster Linie tiber StiBwasserplanctonten, er schienen. Die Hauptpuplikation war "Planctoninvestigations of the Danish Lakes" 1904 bis 1908, zwei Quartbiinde mit zahlreichen Tafeln. Spiiter wurden zum Teil von Ausliindern, die in meinem Laboratorium als Assistenten gearbeitet hatten, zum Teil von anderen, aber auch von mir selbst eine Reihe monographi scher Untersuchungen tiber verschiedene Tiergruppen des StiBwassers, tiber Culiciden, Infusorien, Trematoden, Rotiferen, Nematoden, Cladoceren, Hydra chniden, ferner zusammenfassende Seeuntersuchungen (Furesee, Frederiksborger SchloBteich, Esromsee) publiziert, und zwar siimtlich in den "Kg . Danske Videnska bernes Selska bs Skrifter." Ein groBer Teil meiner Untersuchungen, so tiber Wasserspinnen und Schnek ken, ist aber nicht veroffentlicht worden. Das gleiche gilt von Beobachtungen tiber das Leben der StiBwasserorganismen, die ich auf meinen zahlreichen Ex kursionen machen konnte und die nur in meinen Notizen verzeichnet sind. Es war daher seit langem mein Wunsch, dieses umfangreiche und auch das nach 1915 publizierte Material in einem groBeren Handbuch tiber die gesamte wirbellose Fauna des StiBwassers zu sammeln, genau wie es seinerzeit mit meinen insektenbiologischen Untersuchungen in den "Wasserinsekten" geschehen ist."

Mit dem vorIiegenden Heft iiber die Meerwassertrinkkur beginnt eine Folge von Abhandlungen aus dem Gebiet der Bader-und KIimaheilkunde. Die aufkommende Bewegung einer naturnahen Medizin, das groBe Interesse, das von Laien und Arzten den natiirIichen Heilmitteln und ihrem Verwendungs bereich zugewandt wird, die modernen Fragestellungen der neuzeitllchen Medizin und ihrer Grenzgebiete lassen es berechtigt erscheinen, diese Schriftfolge vor zulegen, die je nach dem sich ergebenden Bediirfnis in zwangloser Folge er scheinen wird. Auf dem Gebiet, dem diese Abhandlungen gelten, der Lehre von den Trink quellen, Badern und Mooren und dem HeilkIima, wird von allen Seiten zur Zeit intensiv gearbeitet. Das ist nicht nur in den obigen Verhaltnissen begriindet, sondern hangt auch damit zusammen, daB im Gegensatz zu friiher uns nun mehr Arbeitsplatze und Laboratorien in zahlreichen Orten in Deutschland zur Verfiigung stehen, .um die sich ergebenden Fragen des Gebietes anzugehen. Das neue Deutschland hat in der Betreuung der natiirIichen Heilgiiter unserer Heimat dem Gebiet der Quellen, Bader und Klimazonen eine besondere Auf merksamkeit zugewandt und Mittel und Wege gefunden, um diesen Dingen eine friiher nicht gekannte Organisation und damit die Grundlage fiir eine frucht bare Arbeit zu geben.

Lobsters are marine decapod crustaceans belonging to a diverse array of taxa, many of which support major fisheries of great socioeconomic importance to human communities and play important roles in natural ecosystems. This book contains chapters describing studies of the larval biology, behavior and habitat preferences, and fisheries management of fished clawed and spiny lobster species. Chapter 1 attempted to use a model based on enzyme thermodynamics to estimate and compare the lower and upper threshold temperatures and intrinsic optimum temperature for the development of American lobster larvae. Chapter 2 used an inferential ecomorphological approach incorporating information on the morphology, life history, biotope, and behavior of a selection of 11 decapod species present in European waters to predict the likely natural habitat of small juvenile European lobsters, a critical life stage about which, remarkably, little is known. Chapter 3 used simulation modeling to estimate the impacts of different fisheries harvesting strategies on the catches and socioeconomic values of Caribbean spiny lobster fisheries in different nations, illustrating their sensitivity to heterogeneous fisheries management. These chapters demonstrate new approaches to the study of lobsters that can contribute important information on their biology and fisheries ecology for use in forecasting the potential impacts of changes in climate and fisheries management on their populations and the fisheries they support.

Die Anregung, dies Buch zu schreihen, trat an dem Abend an mich heran, an dem ich zum ersten Male versuchte, die biologischen Ergebnisse der "Meteor"-Expedition in groBen Umrissen einem wissenschaftlichen Kreise vorzutragen. Die Erinnerungen jahrelanger Seefahrt, auf der langsam eine groBe Gesamtanschauung vom Leben des Weltmeers in mir herangewachsen war, verbanden sich in dieser Stunde mit Erinnerungen weit zuriickliegender Jahre: Ich dachte an die Zeit, da ich einen der groBten deutschen Meister versUind lidher Wissenschaft, Alexander von Humboldt, zum ersten Male las. Ich habe vielleicht nie wieder so stark wie damals reine Wissenschaft als in das Leben eingreifende Macht ernpfunden. Spater, inmitten der Oberfiille von Wissenschaft aller Art, ist mir dies Gefiihl oft verlorengegangen. Das Wesentliche, das wirklich Wissenswerte wird heute von so viel weniger Wichtigern, selbst Wertlosem iiberwuchert, dill. man leicht den Blick fiir die grofien Ziige des Ganzen verliert. Die Wissenschaft wachst in vielen ihrer Teile wie ein unbe schnittener Baurn, an dem die fruchtbaren Zweige unter dem Wuchem der unfruchtbaren leiden. Ich habe mich daher viel urn die Frage bemiiht: Was ist wissenswert? Und warum ist etwas wissenswert? - Gewifi vieles deswegen, weil es Nutzen bringt. Aber den Wert der Wissenschaft an der praktischen Verwertharkeit ihrer Er gebnisse messen oder gar die "angewandte" Wissenschaft hoher als die "reine," zweckunbewuBte bewerten, das hieBe, v Apfel und Trauben nach ihrem Nahrwert sehatzen wollen."
