Biological Oceanography : : An Early History. 1870 - 1960 / / Eric Mills.
First published in 1989, Eric L. Mills's comprehensive history of biological oceanography has been praised as 'superb' (BioScience) and 'proof that history need not be dull' (The Northern Mariner). This first history of the field, which chronicles the scientific work and cre...
