THE SCIENCE OF THE OCEAN - DK GEBUNDEN

Dive into this uniquely elegant visual exploration of the sea An informative and utterly
beautiful introduction to marine life and the ocean environment  The Science of the Ocean book
brings the riches of the underwater world onto the printed page. Astounding photography reveals
an abundance of life  from microscopic plankton to great whales  seaweed to starfish. Published
in association with the Natural History Museum  the book explores every corner of the oceans 
from coral reefs and mangrove swamps to deep ocean trenches. Along the way  and with the help
of clear  simple illustrations  it explains how life has adapted to the marine environment 
revealing for example how a stonefish delivers its lethal venom and how a sponge sustains
itself by sifting food from passing currents. It also examines the physical forces and
processes that shape the oceans  from global circulation systems and tides to undersea
volcanoes and tsunamis. To most of us  the marine world is out of reach. But with the help of
photography and the latest technology  The Science of the Ocean brings us up close to animals 
plants  and other living things that inhabit a fantastic and almost incomprehensibly beautiful
other dimension.
