World Oceans: A Reference Handbook offers an in-depth discussion of
the world's oceans. It discusses the marine life that is dependent
on the sea as well as the problems threatening the health of the
ocean and its wildlife. World Oceans: A Reference Handbook opens
with an overview of the history of human knowledge and
understanding of the oceans and cryosphere, along with related
scientific, technological, social, political, and other factors.
The second chapter presents and discusses about a dozen major
problems facing the Earth's oceans today, along with possible
solutions. The third chapter provides interested individuals with
an opportunity to express their thoughts and ideas on today's ocean
issues, and remaining chapters provide additional resources, such
as a bibliography, a chronology, and a glossary, to assist the
reader in her or his further study of the issue. Where most books
for young adults learning about world oceans take a purely
expository treatment, this book provides readers with additional
information as well as resources, allowing them to learn more and
inform further study of the subject. Provides readers with the
basic background they need about the oceans and cryosphere in order
to understand current problems Includes additional readings, a

in designing and conducting their own research on more detailed
aspects of the topic Offers ideas for additional research from a
list of important individuals and organizations Rounds out the
author's expertise in perspectives essays that show readers a
diversity of viewpoints
