The Ocean Map

$52⁶⁸

A striking ocean-centred view of the world from maritime expert Aimee Mook. Most maps show the ocean as ‘the blue between the green’, but what happens when you focus on the blue? The Ocean Map introduces readers to map-making, ocean science and some of the most fascinating environments on Earth through an unusual map projection.

Description

The Ocean Map presents our planet through an ocean-centred map. It introduces the principles behind different ways of representing the world, helping readers understand how maps shape the way we see our planet.

Designed for children aged 7-11, the book explores natural features, human-made structures, and ocean habitats, with detailed spreads that reveal how science, technology, and exploration operate in, on, and around the ocean.

Case studies such as the Challenger Deep, the Suez Canal, and the Great Pacific Garbage Patch help explain the impacts of human activity alongside the importance of ocean research and conservation.

Key scientific language is explained clearly, supported by a glossary, and hidden animals throughout the book invite active engagement.
