Book Description
New Look! Relaunched with new jackets and 8 pages of new text!
Here is an exciting and informative guide to the natural history, geology, and exploration of the world's vast oceans. Superb, color photographs of incredible submersibles, realistic models of the sea floor, and the remarkable animals and plants that make up marine life offer a unique "eyewitness" view of the ocean's hidden wealth. See a sea spider crawling on the ocean floor, ocean research vessels in operation, a cuttlefish disappear in a squirt of ink, inside a decompression chamber, and an octopus escaping a predator by jet propulsion. Learn how a monitoring buoy measure temperature, about the world's major currents, why a hermit crab finds a second home, and how the earth's plates form. Discover where the deepest dive was made, the length of a giant tube worm, what fish eat at the bottom of the ocean, how a coral reef is formed, how dead man's fingers got their name, and much, much more. |

Amazing 
My daughter is mad that I gave this to the school library. She LOVED it and didn't tell me! Well, I ordered another because she is missing it! It was so amazing to see those pictures, and I want to have all of these books!

Ocean(DK Eyewitness Books)
My son loves the pictures. All of his favorite "sea creatures" are featured in the book. It was a great gift for him.

Great Idea, Great Series, Great Book!
There are no bad volumes among the dozens in the "Eyewitness" Books, but in this case, the publishers have really gone out of their way to give us something special! There is a lot of neat stuff in this book, which is all about the oceans of planet earth, and the plant and animal life that calls the oceans home. Full of factoids and the kind of wonderful illustrations that compel you sit and stare for minutes, this book is pure and simple great fun!

Excellent Educationl Text
I'm a teacher and I find the Eyewitness books highly educational. I like the way the concepts are presented in a form without backgrounds. This gives clear facts to the reader without over taxing the attention span. The books are highly informative, presenting difficult concepts in comprehendable chunks that stimulate interest. I have almost the whole collection for my own children and they LOVE them!

An Intresting book but doesn't focus on anything. 
If you want to see sharks look at eyewitness SHARK. If you want to see Whales look at Eyewitness WHALE. This book has both whales and sharks, but doesn't focus on them. This book is good because it has a little bit of everything from the Ocean, but if really love sharks or whales, for example, then you would proubuly soak up a whole lot more imformation then this book. But that doensn't mean this book is bad. Like I said, this book has a little bit of everything from the ocean. You should buy this book!
