This weekend, I visited my local book store. While browsing, I discovered Ocean: The World's Last Wilderness Revealed. Covering everything related to the oceans -- from the shallow mangroves to the deepest sea floors -- Ocean is 50% photo essay and 50% reference manual, and 100% treasure.Using informative illustrations, beautiful photographs, and satellite imagery, the 512-page tome details the fascinating ecosystems that dwell under the waves; discusses the latest developments in ocean exploration and photography; and highlights important people, habitats, human impact studies, and facts about the most precious resource on our planet. Published in association with the American Museum of Natural History, Ocean is written by Robert Dinwiddie and Louise Thomas and features a foreward by Fabien Cousteau. If you love the ocean, this book, which weighs in at just under 6 pounds, is for you.
The book lists for $50, but you can find it for under $30 on Amazon.
