Description:
|
From the icy seas of our poles to remote coral islands, David Attenborough has filmed in every ocean habitat on planet earth. Now, with long-term collaborator Colin Butfield, he shares the story of our last great wilderness - the one which shapes the land we live on, regulates our climate and creates the air we breathe. Dive into eight unique saltwater habitats, swim through kelp forest, mangroves and coral reefs and down almost 11,000 feet to the deepest corners of the most unexplored ecosystem on our planet. Experience a journey of wonder and discovery, populated by green turtles and blue whales; clownfish and bioluminescent jellyfish; the vampire squid and the 'head-less chicken monster' - a strange form of sea cucumber that lives at the very bottom of the ocean. With the warmth, intelligence and awe that characterises all of David Attenborough's landmark series, Ocean shows us a world which is both desperately fragile yet astonishingly resilient, with an extraordinary capacity to repair itself. It's not too late to restore our most vital habitat. If we treat it with respect, our marine world will be even richer and more spectacular than we can imagine.

Comments from BDS Reviewers:"For me, the overall positivity and success of what has already been done, was surprising. It uplifted me more than I expected".
"This is an important book, both for its subject matter and urgency, and for the fact that it is most likely the last to come from David Attenborough, now in his hundredth year".
"I feel this is a subject we all need to be better informed about so it is educational - but in the easily accessible style of Attenborough".
"There is a wealth of information about the Ocean and its inhabitants, so readers will learn greatly".
"The style of bringing out positive stories is timely and a good one as it gives hope and shows that there are amazing things being achieved".
"It is a remarkable book that wraps up a remarkable career of writing about and televising the natural environment. For this reason alone, it should be in the Scheme".
