Synopsis
Georges Bank provides a basic and indispensable reference tool for anyone involved in studying the bank or in making decisions about its use.
Until now debates about alternative uses of the bank have been hampered by the fact that much of the basic research has been available only to specialists and has been scattered among many publications. In bringing the available information on this complex region together for the first time, Georges Bank provides a basic and indispensable reference tool for anyone involved in studying the bank or in making decisions about its use. Moreover, the depth and clarity of the book's 57 articles and 8 nontechnical introductions will make it useful for anyone involved in oceanographic or ocean policy studies.Sections cover all aspects of this huge marine ecosystem - geology, weather and climate, physical oceanography, chemistry, phytoplankton, primary production, zoology and secondary production, the fisheries, and conflicting uses. Georges Bank is the first major project of the Coastal Research Center of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The editor-in-chief, Richard H. Backus, is chairman of the Institutions's biology department. Includes 176 six-color maps, 54 four-color illustrations - 392 charts, graphs, and drawings.

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. 1st Edition. The MIT Press, Cambridge, Massachusetts and London, England, 1987. Richard Haven Backus (1922-2012) was a prominent biological oceanographer at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. His college years were interrupted by WWII during which he became a B-24 navigator (1st Lieutenant) in the 8th Army Air Force based in England during the intense air campaign over Germany. After an emergency landing in Switzerland, Dick escaped internment to fly again in the Pacific/Japan theater in the Military Air Transport Command. While completing his doctorate accepted a position in 1952 at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) where he worked his entire career. An outstanding achievement during his career was the organization and editing of this multidisciplinary book "Georges Bank" published in 1987 by MIT Press. The depth and clarity of the book's 57 articles and 8 nontechnical introductions will make it useful for anyone involved in oceanographic or ocean policy studies. Sections cover all aspects of this huge marine ecosystem - geology, weather and climate, physical oceanography, chemistry, phytoplankton, primary production, zoology and secondary production, the fisheries, and conflicting uses. Georges Bank is the first major project of the Coastal Research Center of Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The book Includes 176 six-color maps, 54 four-color illustrations - 392 charts, graphs, and drawings. This massive book has 593 pages that measure 340mm X 385mm and it weighs over 5 kilograms. The book is bound in light blue cloth, with white lettering and a blind embossed codfish and it is in fine condition. There is a large folded Bathymetric Chart of Georges Bank and Vicinity in a pouch inside the back cover. This is a very scarce, and important book on the critically important Georges Bank that is situated between Maine and Nova Scotia. Additional postage will be required on this book.
