| We know more about the surface of the moon than we do the oceans of our planet. – Author Alastair Fothergill Explore the oceans of the world with this extraordinary companion volume to the breathtaking Discovery Channel series. From rarely seen creatures of the deep to the birds and fish found in coastal regions, meet the remarkable wildlife that has adapted to live in these extreme environments. The Blue Planet explores the fascinating diversity of six distinct habitats: the coastal regions, the tropical seas, temperate seas, frozen seas, the open ocean, and the deep ocean. Meet the amazing creatures that inhabit each of these regions – from tiny copepods to majestic blue whales to grotesque anglerfish – and learn how the ocean itself affects all life on planet Earth. Complete with a foreword by Sir David Attenborough and 400 full-color photographs, The Blue Planet incorporates the latest scientific evidence to be the most complete and comprehensive portrait of the whole ocean system ever published. |
