Book Reviews of The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Oceans
Book Review: But Not So Complete Idiots Will Like It Too.
Summary: 5 Stars
Of course one has to be predisposed to an interest in this topic, but if you saw David Attenbourrough's recent Blue Planet Series you will come away with a similar impression but a much more in-depth knowledge of the subject. As a former oceanography student I can say that this book is aimed at readers of all levels of knowledge. They make a potentially dry topic (no pun meant) quite interesting. The chapters consist of describiing estuaries in the land-sea ecotome to the barren and alien quality of the abyssal plain. Marine flora and fauna are featured prominently. I recommend this for anyone with a casual interest and greater. Looks good on a bookshelf also!
Summary of The Complete Idiot's Guide to the Oceans
Although our oceans are some of the most beautiful and diverse environments in the world, most people know very little about the ocean's ecology or just how much humans depend on the oceans for survival. "The Complete Idiot's Guidea to the Oceans" will be a marine-lover's reference for mapping the world's oceans and their exploration. Authors will provide key illustrations to help readers understand important concepts along the way with a color photo insert presenting a wide array of marine creatures and habitats.Oceans & Seas Books
