Summary

A beautiful underwater tour of the world's fish and other sea creatures, each of which has a story to tell about our relationship with the natural world and reveals just how much they mean to us.

Description

Dive beneath the waves to meet 80 of the ocean's strangest and most surprising inhabitants.

This beautifully illustrated aquatic world tour tells the fascinating stories of beguiling sea creatures and their ingenious feats of survival - from producing anti-freeze to enduring boiling temperatures - revealing the ways in which these seemingly remote creatures have shaped our own lives, whether through medicine, culture or folklore.

Around the Ocean in 80 Fish and Other Sea Life is a timely and gorgeous celebration of our watery world and the marvellous creatures that call it home.
