OCEANLIFE.
By Sally Morgan and
Pauline Lalor.
Oceanlife is a journey into the seas,
beautifully illustrated with a wealth of superb colour photography
from around the world. Starting from the shore, where the oceans meet the
land, and diving ever further down to the depths where darkness and
enormous water pressure makes exploration almost impossible, it considers
the very
different life-forms that are found in the various habitats. With a number
of special feature sections that look at subjects such as dolphins,
hammerheads, coral photography and camouflage in detail, it includes
chapters on Coral Reefs, The open Ocean and The Sea Beds.
