DESCRIPTION:
This book, which accompanies a major BBC television series, draws on the most exciting stories from the fields of subaquatic archaeology, geology, marine biology, and anthropology to reveal an astonishing landscape of forgotten shipwrecks, submerged volcanoes, and hidden caves. They witnessed rarely seen behavior in sperm whales in the Sea of Cortez and discovered a potentially unknown species below the arctic ice pack. They shape our climate, our culture, and our future. Yet their depths have remained a mysterious and unchartered expanse. For Oceans, explorer Paul Rose and his team of expert divers filmed fluorescence in Red Sea corals for the very first time and explored the undisturbed waters of the Black Hole off the Bahamas. "It is my sincere hope that this work will make more urgent the chorus of voices crying out to save the oceans."--From the foreword, by Philippe Cousteau<
Around the world, under the sea Mr. Flint This book is a companion to the BBC series of the same title (It has not been shown on U.S. television; not sure why?)

Instead of basic oceanography, this title examines "anthropological oceanography," the impact of humankind and the oceans upon each other; one member of the dive/production team is even a maritime archaeologist. The emphasis here is on the team's experiences, rather than on the science in which they might be engaged, as they explore their filming locations in each of seven oceans and seas of the world. television in the near future), and it has a twist. The light tone and lack of a bibliography and further reading suggestions don't recommend this for academic libraries, but abundant beautiful photographs and extensive, well-written text will make this a good addition to public libraries (willing to deal with its large size, 29 × 23 cm) where there is interest in diving or the oceans.—Margaret Rioux, MBL/WHOI Lib., Woods Hole Oceanographic Inst., MA Copyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
