Summary:

"This unique undergraduate textbook considers what makes a marine mammal different from terrestrial mammals, focusing on the physiological and biochemical characteristics that have allowed this group of mammals to effectively exploit the hostile marine environment. The contents are organised around common student questions such as " How do mammals stay warm in a cold ocean?" while each chapter provides a set of PowerPoint slides for instructors to use in teaching. Study Questions and Future Implications points conclude each chapter, while full-colour images and comprehensive, accessible content make this the definitive textbook for marine mammal physiology"-- Provided by publisher.
