Industry Reviews

This highly visual book presents a wealth of facts about the ocean and its flora and fauna. In addition there is information on various topics such as the history of exploration and how people navigated their ships, subaquatic exploration of the ocean depths in the hope of finding treasure among the sunken wrecks. Readers visit coral reefs and submarine volcanoes, see some of the wonderful deep-sea fishes and other creatures - giant squids, anglerfish, blowfish and the spooky-looking barrel eye fish and the fang tooth fish that has the largest teeth of any ocean species, find out how tides work, why the sea is salty and discover how tides and currents work. There's a gallery of deep-sea deities and a spread introducing marine monsters such as the Kraken and a look at some of the horrendous outcomes of marine pollution/ All this and much more, so imagine yourself into a submersible and take the plunge.
