Critics Review
BOOKLIST
“It’s easy to appreciate the importance and splendor of national parks, but precious underwater reserves are out of sight and therefore out of mind. This entrancing volume freshly introduces readers to the marvels of the oceans, from the great gyres that churn the waters to the many forms of marine life—coral reefs and kelp forests, sea turtles, fish, whales, sea birds—that dwell on and near the dappled surface and at every level down to the deepest, most mysterious depths. […] Vivid and informative commentary accompanies gorgeous color photographs to fully illuminate vibrant ecosystems of evolutionary ingenuity and intricate interconnectivity, inspiring awe and a sense of stewardship.”
