The Our Fragile Planet set squarely addresses the need among young adults for a full understanding of contemporary environmental problems -- and their solutions -- from a scientific point of view.Threatened Oceans begins by explaining, clearly and precisely, the science of oceans, including: the importance of salt; the cycle of gases, such as carbon dioxide; the sea's role in land erosion; the ocean's vast resources; and marine ecosystems, such as coral reefs, coastal marshes, and shorelines.
