This guide is for anyone who has ever been intrigued, fascinating or entranced by the world's oceans. There are clear and concise explanations about how life evolved in the sea, and the extraordinary adaptations of creatures for survival in the extreme marine environment. From the tiniest microscopic, one-celled plankton to the vast Blue Whale, photographs, descriptions and illustrations will help you understand the amazing diversity of life beneath the waves. Concepts such as tides, undersea mountains and the relationship between atmosphere and ocean are all carefully described to enable non-scientists to understand how important the world's oceans are to Planet Earth and to the existence of life on Earth.
