Ocean: Earth's Last Wilderness

Beskrivelse

Discover the breathtaking world beneath the waves with Sir David Attenborough and Colin Butfield’s remarkable book, a project nearly a century in the making. This essential work explores the vast and vital ocean habitats that cover our planet.

An exploration of Earth's last great wilderness and its crucial role in sustaining life.

From the frozen polar seas to isolated coral islands, David Attenborough has captured the diverse life found in every ocean habitat on Earth. Teaming up once again with long-time collaborator Colin Butfield, they reveal the story of the ocean-our planet’s final wilderness that influences the land we inhabit, controls the climate, and produces the air we breathe.

Dive into eight distinct saltwater environments, journeying through kelp forests, mangroves, and coral reefs, and descending nearly 11,000 feet to the ocean’s deepest, least explored regions. Encounter an array of fascinating creatures including green turtles, blue whales, clownfish, bioluminescent jellyfish, vampire squid, and the bizarre “headless chicken monster,” a unique sea cucumber dwelling in the ocean’s abyss.

With the insight, passion, and wonder that define all of David Attenborough’s iconic works, Ocean presents a world that is both incredibly fragile and remarkably resilient, demonstrating an amazing ability to heal itself. There is still hope to revive this vital ecosystem, and by treating it with care, our marine environment can become even more vibrant and extraordinary than we ever imagined.
