FULL DESCRIPTION
Dive into the mesmerising world beneath the waves with "Ocean" - a stunning visual journey officially endorsed by the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. This captivating book showcases over 300 spectacular images that reveal the power, enigma, and splendour of our planet's marine realms through a fascinating blend of underwater photography, oceanographic mapping, scientific illustrations, and artistic interpretations.
Where science meets art, "Ocean" takes you on a global expedition spanning more than three millennia of human fascination with the sea. From ancient Roman mosaics to Japanese woodblock prints, from early nautical charts to cutting-edge maps of the ocean floor - this collection crosses continents and cultures to tell the story of our enduring relationship with the blue world.
Each vibrant, full-page spread reveals something new: prehistoric sea creatures frozen in fossil form, bizarre deep-sea organisms that seem from another world, mythological beings of the deep, and the sun-soaked surf icons who've made riding waves into an art form.
Journey to the kaleidoscopic fish and coral communities of the Great Barrier Reef, marvel at jellyfish from Earth's deepest trenches, and witness the unique adaptations of creatures surviving in the frigid polar waters of the Arctic and Antarctic. The book also addresses the urgent challenges facing our oceans due to climate change and highlights the dedicated conservation efforts underway to protect these precious ecosystems.
Created in collaboration with an expert panel of marine biologists, research scientists, conservationists, photographers, museum curators, and specialists from renowned organisations including the Wildlife Conservation Society and Scripps Institution of Oceanography, "Ocean" perfectly illustrates oceanographer Sylvia Earle's profound observation that "Everyone, everywhere is inextricably connected to and utterly dependent upon the existence of the sea."
The book features work from an incredible roster of artists, designers, explorers, photographers and visionaries including Mary Anning, Brian Skerry, Jacques Cousteau, David Doubilet, Sylvia Earle, Damien Hirst, David Hockney, Katsushika Hokusai, Esther Horvath, NASA, Sebastião Salgado, Vincent van Gogh, Yayoi Kusama, Eileen Agar, Edward Burtynsky, Ray Eames, Ernst Haeckel, Kerry James Marshall, Greg Lecoeur, Claude Monet, Georgia O'Keeffe, and Catherine Opie.
Make a splash in your collection with "Ocean" – because let's face it, your coffee table could use a little more depth!
