Then, all the material is tied together with an ecological thread. As a unifying
theme, ecology links the material to issues of special concern to students today.
Finally, the author has made sure that this edition includes the most up-to-date
information possible, much of it familiar from recent headline-making news and
research. Global warming, the effects of the Exxon Valdez and Persian Gulf oil spills,
cutting-edge drugs derived from marine organisms the list goes on and on.
