Two thirds of our planet is covered by oceans and seas. Over recent
decades developments in ocean science have dramatically improved
our understanding of the key role oceans play in the Earth System,
and how vital they are for regulating global climate. Humans depend
on the oceans for many resources, but at the same time their
impacts on the marine systems around the world are of increasing
concern. Introducing Oceanography has been written by two leading
oceanographers to provide a succinct overview of the science of the
study of the seas for students and for the interested adult wanting
a topical guide to this enormous and complex subject. The initial
chapters describe the oceans and the forces at work within them.
The authors then discuss the effects of light, the chemistry of the
seas and the food web before surveying biological oceanography in
the main oceanic regions. The final chapter looks at the
methodology of ocean study. Copiously illustrated, this book is
intended for those whose interest in oceanography has been
stimulated, perhaps by media coverage of declining resources or
climate change and who want to know more. Technical terms are kept
to a minimum and are explained in a glossary.
Taking place during the first half of the sixteenth century, The
Fall of the King tells the story of dreamy, slacking student Mikkel
Thøgersen and the entanglements that ultimately bring him into
service as a mercenary under King Christian II of Denmark. Moving
from the Danish countryside to Stockholm during the execution of
Swedish nobility and finally to the imprisonment of Mikkel and
Christian, the narrative is a lyrical encapsulation of “the
fall”—the fall of country, history, individuals, and nature.
Twice voted as the most important Danish novel of the twentieth
century, The Fall of the King is both an epic depiction of real
events and a complex psychological novel. Half pure narration, half
prose poem, its scenes of brute realism mixed with rhapsodical
passages make it a work of artistic genius.
