Description: Ocean invites readers to join David Attenborough and long-term collaborator Colin Butfield as they present the wonder and magnificence of our global ocean – ‘Earth’s last wilderness’ that covers just over 70% of the planet. Focusing on eight unique salt-water habitats and providing a wealth of information that includes the damage suffered as well as conservation gains, this is an engaging, uplifting and informative story, enhanced by superb colour photos and its accessible style.

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".
