Ocean: Discover the Beauty of Our Underwater World

"Seen from space, the oceans define our planet. They are vast almost beyond our ability to imagine, dwarfing the continents on which we spend our lives. To many of us the oceans are another world, unvisited and strange. This book opens that world up and invites us in to share in its marvels and mysteries. Discover the awesome beauty of the oceans and their most spectacular inhabitants. Travel from tropical reefs to the icy waters around the world's poles. Dive with submariners to the cold, dark ocean depths, home to the planet's most bizarre forms of life. Dramatic colour photography and clear, authoritative text combine to bring the vibrant world of oceans to life"--Back cover.
