"Ripley's Twists" bring a fun, engaging and uniquely "Ripley's" approach to a whole range of topics, from the human body to space. Each title blends stunning full-colour photographs and illustrations with clear explanations and extraordinary facts that are guaranteed to inform and to entertain. In "Oceans", you will find: key information - everything from lazy floating blobfish to how to survive a shark attack; intriguing bite-size facts - Atlantic giant squid and colossal squid have the biggest eyes of any living animal, and each eyeball can measure ten inches across; real-life stories - like the man who free dives, with no fins or oxygen, to a depth of 282.15 feet; 'Big word alert' glossaries - clear and straightforward explanations of difficult words such as 'vertebrate'; and, stunning photographs and detailed diagrams.
