New Holland Publishers: Oceans, Gebunden

Klappentext

Part of the new 'Luxe Nature' gift-line series from Reed New Holland, this
is a beautiful collection of artworks and inspirational quotes about ocean
wildlife from around the world, from fishes and whales to seals, octopuses,
seabirds and starfish. Oceans cover more than two-thirds of the surface of
the Earth. They support an unbelievable amount of life, from the
plankton-rich waters of the Arctic and Antarctic to coral reefs which can
hold more species than an equivalent area of rainforest. Of course, this
watery world is hidden from the eyes of most humans, which perhaps explains
why we choose to treat the planet's seas as a giant waste bin! This book is
a celebration of the world's ocean life. It covers creatures of the shores
such as birds, seals and molluscs, together with fishes, squid, octopus,
cetaceans and many more life forms which inhabit the shallows and the
deeper seas. It shows watercolour paintings and other artworks of ocean
wildlife and pairs them with quotes that cover everything from deep
philosophical thoughts to comments that will make the reader laugh out
loud. So prepare for a journey around the world's oceans - from the tropics
to the polar regions, and from coral reefs to the deepest depths.
