First Paragraph

D. James Baker, in his introduction to a series of articles celebrating the 50th anniversary of the book The Oceans (Sverdrup, Johnson, and Fleming, 1942), tells a story about starting in oceanography as a summer fellow at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) on an expedition with John Knauss. "John told me that if I wanted to be an oceanographer, then I had to read The Oceans as a start." (Baker, 1992).
