RECOMMENDED: TEXTBOOK
Essentials of Oceanography, Trujillo and Thurman (13th edition)

Multiple options are provided to make the textbook more affordable. Although the textbook is not required, it is highly recommended. If you prefer to learn through reading a textbook, don't let your finances keep you from getting one. WAYS TO ACCESS TEXTBOOK:

• Purchase from CCSF bookstore
• Purchase from online publisher or any other online book vendor (new or used) (Amazon.com)
• Access copies on reserve in library
• Request a copy through the CCSF Book Loan
• Borrow a loaner textbook from instructor (random authors -- not class textook) available for first few weeks of semester until you can acquire a more permanent solution (get them early).
• Use an earlier edition of this textbook or any other standard introductory oceanography textbook available online for just a few dollars.

If using a different edition or different author, it is your responsibility to identify and read the relevant chapters within each text. (Instructor can help -- just reach out.) Reading ahead each week to prepare for class is an important part of the weekly learning.

ALTERNATIVE OPEN ACCESS TEXTBOOKS:

• Introduction to Oceanography, Paul Webb, Roger Williams University
  NOTE: This textbook is missing some of the content of a standard oceanography class, specifically the rich review of marine ecology at the end, so you'd need to supplement this textbook with others such as the one below. (Another website for this same book.)
• Introduction to Ocean Sciences, Douglas A Segar
