Oceans

This magnificent book portrays in spectacular photographs the immense power and dramatic beauty of the great oceans that cover two-thirds of the Earth's surface - some 140 million square miles. It covers the following topics - the World's Great Oceans; Ocean Flora and Fauna; crossing the Oceans; ocean watersports; disasters; oceans meet the Land; and, Man and the Sea. The book focuses on the multitude of animal life that can be found above and below the waves, and on man's carelessness and greed which could eventually spoil the very magnificence celebrated in the photographs. It features 200 spectacular colour photographs - mainly single- and double- page spreads - of the world's great oceans, the flora and fauna that inhabit them, the vessels that cross them and the sheer beauty and power where the land meets the sea. It is the latest title in Compendium's new Panoramic Vision Series that has huge coffee-table sized books which use 16-inch wide pages to present the most beautiful panoramic views of the world's heritage and countryside...
