《海洋科学》一书对海洋生物和海洋环境进行了全面而详尽的介绍，将海底世界的丰富内容带入了印刷页面。惊人的摄影作品揭示了从微观浮游生物到大鲸鱼，从海藻到海星的丰富生活。该书与自然历史博物馆联合出版，探讨了海洋的每个角落，从珊瑚礁和红树林沼泽到深海trench沟。在此过程中，借助清晰，简单的插图，它解释了生命如何适应海洋环境，例如揭示了石鱼如何释放其致命的毒液，以及海绵如何通过过滤流过的食物来维持自身生存。它还检查了塑造海洋的物理力和过程，从全球循环系统和潮汐到海底火山和海啸。对于我们大多数人来说，海洋世界是遥不可及的。但是借助摄影技术和最新技术，《海洋科学》使我们接近了生活在一个奇妙而几乎无法理解的美丽维度中的动物，植物和其他生物。An informative and utterly beautiful introduction to marine life and the ocean environment, The Science of the Ocean book brings the riches of the underwater world onto the printed page.Astounding photography reveals an abundance of life, from microscopic plankton to great whales, seaweed to starfish. Published in association with the Natural History Museum, the book explores every corner of the oceans, from coral reefs and mangrove swamps to deep ocean trenches.Along the way, and with the help of clear, simple illustrations, it explains how life has adapted to the marine environment, revealing for example how a stonefish delivers its lethal venom and how a sponge sustains itself by sifting food from passing currents. It also examines the physical forces and processes that shape the oceans, from global circulation systems and tides to undersea volcanoes and tsunamis.To most of us, the marine world is out of reach. But with the help of photography and the latest technology, The Science of the Ocean brings us up close to animals, plants, and other living things that inhabit a fantastic and almost incomprehensibly beautiful other dimension.
