Professor Sean appeared in several of the episodes of this series and helped develop learning activities to support it. While some episodes are better than others, The Endless Voyage provides one of the most complete and up-to-date series on oceanography available

Sverdrup, H.V., M.V. Johnson, and R.H. Fleming. 1942. The Oceans: Their Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. Prentice-Hall: NJ. 1060pp.
The “father of oceanography textbooks”, this book remains an invaluable source of information on the world ocean. Comprehensive in scope and highly detailed in its content, its as much as study in the history of oceanography as it is a compendium of the state of oceanographic knowledge circa 1940.

*Coker, R. E. 1962. This Great and Wide Sea: An Introduction to Oceanography and Marine Biology, Illustrated Edition. Harper Torchbooks: NY
This is one of the first books on oceanography that Professor Sean read when he was a larvae. These kinds of books are fascinating as a historical snapshot of the state of the science in a particular era and for their “personal” narratives. As an illustrated edition, it doesn’t have many illustrations, certainly not compared to modern books! |

The past provides a glimpse of the future. This oceanography textbook, written by such luminaries as Roger Revelle, Athelstan Spilhaus, and Maurice Ewing, has many lessons for today’s oceanographers, though it was written more than four decades ago. |
