Summary
This book presents readers with a comprehensive picture of a body of water that is much more than a vast habitat: the text details the global ocean's influence on the whole of the planet, as well as the often detrimental influence of Earth's human inhabitants have on the global ocean. Yet by including up-to-date initiatives -- from everyday actions to larger institutional projects -- on each spread, as well as in dedicated sections at the end of the book, the book's environmental message of urgency is as hopeful as it is accurate
