A H Perry and J M Walker Harlow: Longman 1977 pp xi + 160 price £5.50 This well illustrated book claims to treat meteorology, climatology and physical oceanography in an integrated manner at a level that would interest second and third year undergraduate students and postgraduate students in geography, geophysics, environmental science, marine biology and nautical studies! The main chapters deal with the nature and characteristics of the ocean-atmosphere system, ocean macrocirculations, the action of wind on the sea, ocean-atmosphere heat exchange, thermal behaviour of the ocean-atmosphere system and climatic responses, and international projects and numerical models, and the book ends with an extensive list of references and an index.
