I was wondering if any of you fellow well educated types in the sciences could recommend a good book on oceanography. Something that touches on all aspects of life and geography.
Book on Oceanography?

It does not appear that you ever received a response on this, so one possibility would be Abyss, by Clarence Idyll. it is a bit dated, but gives a good general coverage, with a strong focus on deep sea life.

It is also readily available on Abebooks.
You might also want to take a look at a good book on Marine Mammals, such at this one: National Audubon Society Guide to Marine Mammals of the World.
Do not forget the Stellar Sea Cow, which was hunted into extinction in the 1740s off of the Komandorski Islands in the Bering Sea. It was a very large kelp eating relative of the Manatee, and apparently existed off of California as well. Then you have the salt-water crocodile, which has been seen up to 100 miles offshore in the Indonesia-New Guinea-Australia area.
