A new-generation reference book about our planet's most amazing, least explored environment, for kids used to surfing and swiping.
We know more about Mars than we do about the oceans that cover 70 percent of Earth's surface and sustain life on our blue planet. Yet every child is fascinated by sharks, tsunamis, palm-fringed beaches, coral reefs and superstrange-looking deep-sea fish. This book is a genuine contribution to our understanding of the world's last wilderness. It introduces ocean water, geology, tides, waves, and coastlines, then moves on to a stunning catalogue of ocean life, from the smallest sponge to the largest whale. Beautiful original photographs and dramatic modern graphics are combined with up-to-the-minute factual knowledge from marine biologists, conservationists, and explorers. This is a learning journey: The human impact on the ocean is explained and challenged, actions are suggested, and young readers are introduced to a world of information and activity outside the book to pursue their newfound interest in mankind's most fascinating and threatened environment.
