COMING SEPTEMBER 13 
FROM OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS 

"MARINE BIOLOGY EXPLORATIONS" 

by Jeffrey Levinton (State University of New York at Stony Brook, Stony 
Brook NY 11794 USA) 

A CD with nearly 300 images of marine environments and organisms. 
Produced as a companion to "Marine Biology: Function, Biodiversity, 
Ecology" by Jeffrey Levinton, Marine Biology Explorations (MBE) gives the 
student an opportunity to examine images and explanatory text for the 
following subject areas: 

(1) The Voyage of the Challenger Expedition 
(2) Marine Plankton 
(3) Salt Marshes 
(4) Mangals 
(5) Coral Reefs 
(6) Soft Bottom Shores 
(7) Rocky Shores 
(8) Marine Invertebrate Larvae 
(9) Subtidal Bottoms 
(10) Hot Vent Environments 
(11) Kelp Forests 

Complete Picture Index 

Images are from both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of North America. 
Each subject area allows the student to "wander" and encounter new 
organisms and ecological features. Text boxes describe organisms or 
illuminate ecological processes. 

Other features: 

(1) A multiple choice test module, keyed to chapters of Levinton's book. 
Over 250 questions are provided. 

(2) Digital images of nearly all figures from Levinton's text "Marine 
Biology: Function, Biodiversity, Ecology." All figures are in Adobe 
Acrobat format, which allows figures to be converted, for example into 
classroom presentables, such as overhead transparencies and digitally 
projectible images (e.g., from a laptop connected to a computer-compatible 
projector). 

Hardware Required: Macintosh Computer with CD-ROM, MACOS version 6.0 and 
above Estimated Cost: $24.95 or comes free to instructor who adopts 
Levinton's text.
