Oceános (Oceanology) Synopsis

Sumérgete en este maravilloso libro y explora  las profundidades marinas de manera visual y única.

Una bellìsima introducción a la vida marina que traslada las riquezas del mundo submarino a las páginas de este extraordinario libro.

Con asombrosas fotografìas muestra la abundante vida en los mares, desde plancton microscópico hasta enormes ballenas, algas marinas y estrellas de mar. Este asombroso libro explora todos los rincones de los océanos, desde los arrecifes de coral y los manglares hasta las fosas marinas profundas.

Con la ayuda de ilustraciones claras y sencillas, Océanos. El mundo secreto de las profundidades marinas explica cómo la vida se ha adaptado al medio marino, y nos enseña, por ejemplo, cómo un pez piedra libera su veneno letal o cómo una esponja se alimenta a través de sus poros. También examina las mareas, los volcanes submarinos, los tsunamis o la formación de los océanos.

Océanos. El mundo secreto de las profundidades marinas nos acerca a los seres vivos que habitan en un mundo inmenso, desconocido y fantástico.

Dive into this uniquely elegant visual exploration of the sea.

An informative and utterly beautiful introduction to marine life and the ocean environment, Oceanology brings the riches of the underwater world onto the printed page.

Astounding photography reveals an abundance of life, from microscopic plankton to great whales, seaweed to starfish. Published in association with the Smithsonian Institution, the book explores every corner of the oceans, from coral reefs and mangrove swamps to deep ocean trenches.

Along the way, and with the help of clear, simple illustrations, it explains how life has adapted to the marine environment, revealing for example how a stonefish delivers its lethal venom and how a sponge sustains itself by sifting food from passing currents. It also examines the physical forces and processes that shape the oceans, from global circulation systems and tides to undersea volcanoes and tsunamis.
To most of us, the marine world is out of reach. But with the help of photography and the latest technology, Océano brings us up close to animals, plants, and other living things that inhabit a fantastic and almost incomprehensibly beautiful other dimension.
