Physical Oceanography Reviews

From the reviews:

This book is an eclectic collection of science memoirs ... . is unique in its approach and has something for everyone. I recommend it highly for students and young scientists, both for historical curiosity and because it will help them to assimilate past lessons learned into their own careers. But I also recommend if for older scientists who have lived through many of the developments of the last half-century, and who may wish to reflect on their own careers in the context of the book. (David B. Enfield, Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, March, 2007)
