About the Author
James L. Sumich received his M.S. in Biological Oceanography at Oregon State University, joined the biology faculty at Grossmont College, and then returned to Oregon State for a Ph.D. For his Ph.D. thesis, he studied the interactions between newborn gray whale calves and their mothers and the way each budgets its energy expenditures during the period of calf nursing.He has taught marine mammal biology classes for graduates and undergraduates at San Diego State University, University of San Diego, and Oregon State University, where he continues to teach, as the requirements of retirement permit. His retirement activities include continued research and writing on gray whale behavior and energetics. He recently marked the publication of the second edition revision of a textbook on the evolutionary biology of marine mammals, coauthored with Dr. Annalisa Berta and Dr. Kit Kovacs. He lives in a home he has built with his wife, Caren, in the woods near Corvallis, Oregon.
Deanna R. Pinkard-Meier earned her B.S. degree in Aquatic Biology from the University of California Santa Barbara and her M.S. degree in Marine Biology from the Florida Institute of Technology. Her early research efforts were concentrated on marine invertebrates near the California Channel Islands. She then moved her research focus and home to the tropics, studying the behavior, reproduction, and recruitment of tropical marine fishes, specifically snappers, damselfishes, and wrasses. After 5 very productive years in the warm waters of the Caribbean and Florida, she ventured back home to California where she worked as a research fisheries biologist for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), studying the endangered white abalone and declining rockfish populations with a remotely operated vehicle.For the past decade Deanna has taught many biology courses at a variety of universities and community colleges in San Diego, while still publishing research with hardworking former colleagues at NOAA. She especially enjoys teaching marine biology, organismal biology, and evolution and introducing students to field survey techniques used in the intertidal or from a boat. She resides in Cardiff-by-the-Sea, California, with her husband and two sons, where they can often be found jumping in the ocean for a surf session or snorkel. She is active in her local community where she participates in Surfrider Foundation events and volunteers as a visiting scientist at local schools.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fulfilled a need
Bought the book because we needed to pass a class. Same text book that everyone else used.
3.0 out of 5 stars Cheaper than the college bookstore
As with all textbooks this is overpriced but it’s cheaper through Bolo than the college bookstore and it gets delivered directly to me in 2 days (thank you Prime!) Paperback, well written-can be purchased used for less but since it’s paperback the condition may be compromised. Mostly happy with saving a few dollars and not having to leave the house to get it.
4.0 out of 5 stars Four Stars
The product is the exact book I need for class and it came with the access code
2.0 out of 5 stars Not consistent and some inaccuracies
I selected this book to use with my undergraduate Marine Biology class. I selected it because initial review indicated it is written in a way that is likely accessible to second or third year biology majors. However, I am now half way through the semester and have found it to contain quite a few errors and inaccuracies as well as inconsistencies. The book says one thing and then only a few pages later there are things that contradict the original information. From an instructor perspective, those sorts of things only serve to confuse students and make them unsure what they should be learning from the book. The instructor resources are not really fantastic either. The figures are not the best for illustrating the particular concept, and there are many areas where a figure would be extremely important but is simply not there. I will search for a new text before teaching Marine Biology again.
Interesting and Convieniet to use
I had to buy this book for a University course and have found it useful for revising material and as a resource for assignments.I had an issue at the start with the book not showing up in my kindle library, then getting charged for two copies, and then it not showing up in my library a second time but once that was sorted out it works fine now.
