An illustrated atlas of ocean life and phenomena

Julia Rothman’s illustrated guide ranges from the formation and salinity of the oceans to phenomena such as rogue waves. Its subject matter moves between natural history and human encounters with the sea: profiles of marine animals sit alongside surveys of vessels and lighthouses, while plastic pollution and warming waters bring environmental change into view. The varied topics make the book a broad-ranging introduction to ocean ecosystems, presented through drawings and short areas of inquiry rather than a single continuous account.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults curious about ocean ecosystems and marine life
  • Readers who enjoy illustrated guides that bring together natural history and human connections to the sea
  • Those interested in ocean phenomena and environmental pressures such as plastic and warming waters

Book overview

Take a deep drive into the wonders of the sea with Julia Rothman's bestselling illustrated ocean guide.

Follow Rothman's inquisitive mind and perceptive eye along shorelines, across the open ocean, and below the waves for an artistic exploration of the watery universe. Through her drawings, discover how the world's oceans formed, why the sea is salty, and the forces behind oceanic phenomena such as rogue waves. Colorful anatomical profiles of sea creatures from crustacean to cetacean, surveys of seafaring vessels and lighthouses, and the impact of plastic and warming water temperatures are just part of this compendium of curiosities that will entertain and educate readers of all ages.

Also available in Julia Rothman's Anatomy series: Nature Anatomy, Farm Anatomy, Food Anatomy, Nature Anatomy Notebook, and Wildlife Anatomy.
