Meghan Jones: The Unusual Ocean, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Between four and seven miles deep, the ocean---where pressure is one ton per square centimeter---evokes both mystery and misunderstanding; accessing these depths is challenging to human exploration. Our fear of the unknown often conjures images of monsters of the deep, akin to imagined space aliens, especially in the minds of children. Based on current scientific observations and studies, this book demonstrates that reality can be more fascinating than the wildest imagination, introducing children to twenty-six of the most unusual creatures to inhabit the oceans, from amphipods to zooids. This book will excite a new generation of ocean explorers who can take their piqued interest and grow into the next round of much-needed ocean stewardship.
