An underwater adventure to discover our oceans' most fascinating places, plants, and animals.
A thrilling guide to the weirdest wildlife, most incredible places, and most surprising science in our oceans.
This fascinating book will take you beyond the seaweed, sharks, and shells that you have seen many times before, and show you the secret world that lies in and around our amazing oceans.
There is much to discover about our marine environments that most people don't know. Dive into the deepest sea trench ever discovered, marvel at immortal anemones, and learn how devastating water tornadoes form. Author Annie Roth, a science journalist and filmmaker, covers a huge range of topics, including unique ocean habitats, newly-discovered creatures, marine mysteries, and the exciting world of ocean exploration.
Have you ever wondered how big the oceans actually are? Or how animals communicate in the water? Or how plants are able to grow in the sea? This book answers those questions, and many, many more.
Amazing Oceans is the perfect book for inquisitive kids aged 7 and above, and especially those with a passion for wildlife, science, or geography. With astounding information, and stunning photographs and illustrations, this is the ultimate guide to the most incredible environments on Earth.
