درباره این کتاب:
Everything
you ever wanted to know about Earth's
oceans in one pocket-sized, easy-to-read
guide.
Nearly 97 per cent of our planet's water
is held in the vast oceans that teem with
life. This incredible book on oceans for
children aged 9-12 uses stunning images
and clear artworks to reveal the secrets
of this underwater world.
Within the pages of this book, you'll
discover the range of organisms - from
colossal whales to microscopic plankton -
that call the oceans home. Find out also
about tidal pools, salt marshes, coral
reefs, ocean floor ridges, and the other
natural features of these vast bodies of
water. Learn how the oceans formed, what
causes tsunamis, how tidal waves are used
to generate electricity, and what marine
experts are doing to save our oceans. The
catalogue format of this mini-encyclopedia
features an amazing photograph of every
animal or natural feature, and breaks down
even the most complex topics into simple,
bite-sized chunks of information,
supported by helpful stats.
The Pocket Eyewitness series is perfect
for all children, whether they are
reluctant young readers who want to digest
key points about our seas or budding
explorers keen to learn all about the
oceans.
