Description
SHORTLISTED FOR THE OCKHAM NZ BOOK AWARD BEST ILLUSTRATED BOOK OF NONFICTION
An illuminating tour through the native sea creatures of Aotearoa, by the bestselling author of The Meaning of Trees
Secrets of the Sea is a fascinating introduction to New Zealand's fish and shellfish, weaving together history, biology, and culture to reveal how these unique and intriguing creatures have shaped our lives. Ranging from sandy shores and rocky reefs to the open ocean and its cavernous depths, Robert Vennell celebrates the magic and mystery of the world beneath the waves.
Lavishly illustrated with stunning photographs and fascinating historical illustrations.
Secrets of the Sea is a standout. Gorgeously illustrated, and with stunning photography, Secrets of the Sea is a resplendent unravelling of the mysteries surrounding some of the incredible inhabitants of Aotearoa waters. Jo Lucre, Wellington Regional News
Secrets of the Sea is a treasury of interesting facts, beautiful photography and remarkable prose. Beyond the luscious illustrations is a perfect blend of science, history, and matauranga Maori that gives the text depth and relevance and reveals in fascinating (and urgent) ways the interconnectedness of the human and extra-human world. Visually compelling and hugely accessible, this impactful book will delight the marine biologist, sea aficionado and general reader alike. New Zealand Book Awards Trust, Ockham shortlist for Best Illustrated Book of Nonfiction
