From the icy oceans of our poles to remote coral islands David Attenborough has filmed in
every ocean habitat on planet earth. Now with long-term collaborator Colin Butfield he shares
the story of our last great critical wilderness and the one which shapes the land we live on
regulates our climate and creates the air we breathe. Through one hundred years eight unique
ocean habitats countless intriguing species - and through personal stories history and
cutting-edge science - Ocean uncovers the mystery the wonder and the frailty of the most
unexplored habitat on our planet. And it shows its remarkable resilience: it is the part of our
world that can and in some cases has recovered the fastest and in our lifetimes we could see
a fully restored marine world even richer and more spectacular than we could possibly hope if
we act now. It is a book almost a century in the making but one that has never been more
urgently needed.
