Other than the cover having a different picture and being soft cover, this really is the same as the hardcover 8th edition. Same text,same photos. I was afraid it wouldn't be the same as the text in my Marine Biology class but it is!! So I'm very happy with it!! I really like this book and have found it to be up to date and very informative. The diagrams and charts are clear and the links are helpful. There is plenty of useful information for anyone interested in understanding the marine environment better.
I bought the international version and it is the same thing as the original U.S version. I like it because it was much cheaper to buy it online rather than buying one from the school bookstore.
I bought this book for my marine bio class. It is in excellent condition with plenty of information to go with what we talk about in lectures.
