RECOMMENDED BOOK: Ocean: An Illustrated Atlas
Ocean: An Illustrated Atlas by authors Sylvia A. Earle and Linda K. Glover provide an extraordinarily comprehensive piece of work with their ocean atlas. The book takes its readers on a tour of the Earth’s oceans without ever having to set foot on a boat or into the ocean.
My copy doesn’t sit on the bookshelf, but I display it on my coffee table for immediate use by my guests and me. There is something about holding a good book in your hands and digesting its information, and flipping through this book’s pages is pure joy. The reader is provided with captivating images, understandable descriptions of marine ecosystems and sea creatures, in addition to data and graphs. Furthermore, there is current information regarding ocean issues, such as climate change, pollution, rising ocean surface temperatures, and Arctic melting. This book is an absolute necessity for any lover of the ocean, young aspiring scientist, the armchair environmentalist, or armchair explorer.
