Synopsis

Young readers will be absorbed by this lushly photographed and illustrated book on the magic and marvels of the sea. Photographed by Official Navy Painter (France) Philip Plisson, The Sea takes readers on a globe-hopping journey to examine the many faces of the ocean, as well as the many ways people make their lives at sea. Part-documentary, part-poetic portrait, The Sea offers a range of educational views on everything from storm warnings to seabird species to the art of tying sailor knots. Traditional fishing is observed, as well as lesser-known industries such as fish-farming, oyster-farming and salt-farming. Also interwoven into the text are ecological issues addressing how man has soiled the sea with pollution and waste, so there is an environmentally conscious message as well.
