In this book I saw close up pictures of very rare creatures only found on the deep ocean bottom.
I found a map of where three major types whales feed and mate.
This books combines science with natural photography to the benefit of both.

My college daughter had to read this book for an Environmental Studies course; she borrowed it from our local library and loved it so much I decided to order it from Amazon as a holiday gift for her. After returning it to the library she kept saying she wished she could just buy it from the library - so I was thrilled to find it on Amazon and she was just as thrilled and surprised to receive her own copy! The photos are amazing!

This book has got everything that we like in a book about a natural subject. Great information coupled with stunning vivid photographs, but also a lot of charts, maps and visuals to really help you make sense of what youre looking at. Beautifully designed and laid out. Out of the similar books I looked at, this really was the best. a good size, not too big or oversized, but nice and broad enough to reproduce the photos in detail and scale. Covers every aspect of ocean ecosystems and animal life, history, science, conservation, and global pollution threats. If like me, you learn best by visual aids and connecting concepts with imagery, then this is a great book for this study.
