Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

A noted physicist and popular science writer heads for the beach to answer common and uncommon questions about the ocean. James S. Trefil, one of the founders of modern quark theory, explains why the sea is salty, how bubbles form on the water's surface, where waves come from, and other curiosities of the marine world. Dr. Trefil draws upon his unique gift for clarifying complex scientific principles and the theories behind them to present a narrative that is clear, accessible, and utterly compelling. 1987 ed. 90 figures. 20 halftones.
