A total of more than 800 publications, covering a period from 1778 to the present, have been scrutinised and their contents integrated to give the reader an authoritative and up to date overview of what is currently known about the Agulhas Current system. The text is amply illustrated and is interspersed with interesting inserts on the origin of the name of the current, the history of research on the Agulhas Current, vignettes on key researchers that have studied the current, descriptions of a research vessel that played a key role in these investigations and even stories on favourite hypotheses on the current that have turned out to be wrong. An exhaustive bibliography, an index of researchers and a detailed subject index completes the book and makes it particularly user friendly.
Industry Reviews

From the reviews:

"Lutjeharms does a remarkable job of presenting the Agulhas to the wider community. His encyclopedic knowledge nicely draws together the many research studies devoted to the Agulhas Current system to produce an excellent, objective, and well-written analysis. ... Professor Johann R.E. Lutjeharms has produced a truly scholarly work, drawing from a multitude of research papers, many from his own pen, and presenting to us with clarity the complex oceanography of the Agulhas Current system ... . Johann: On target and well done!" (Arnold L. Gordon, Oceanography, Vol. 20 (1), 2007)

"A comprehensive and passionate survey of the collected general knowledge of the greater Agulhas Current system ... . I highly recommend this book to all students and researchers of the greater Agulhas system. The author has succeeded in writing a book that will be considered a standard work for years to come. The book is very well written, nicely bound, and looks extremely attractive inside and out. ... This book is a must for everyone working in or on the greater Agulhas Current system." (Will P.
