The Blue Wonder
Why the Sea Glows, Fish Sing, and Other Astonishing Insights from the Ocean
Fore. Jill Heinerth , Frauke Bagusche , Trans. Jamie McIntosh New Hardback Illustrated
Postscript summary
Marine biologist and deep-sea diver Frauke Bagusche explores the mysteries of the oceans, which are still less studied than the surface of the moon. She explains the nature of water itself, the importance of plankton to all marine life, the communities of coral reefs, and the lives of turtles, octopuses and sea otters, before warning of the dangers to this complex ecosystem from oil and plastic pollution.
Product information
Full publisher description
An intimate account of the beauty, mystery, and amazing science of the ocean.
In The Blue Wonder, marine biologist and diver Frauke Bagusche brings readers on a fascinating and beautiful deep-sea dive into the ocean. Drawing on scientific discoveries and her own research, she uses photographs and playful prose to reveal:
deep-sea reefs that glitter like glass
fish that converse with each other by singing--loudly
an octopus that imitates more than fifteen other animals
the secret behind why the sea glows at night
"weddings" that happen amongst the coral
underwater "drugstores"
and even fish that clean her own teeth!
Humans know more about the moon's surface than we do about the ocean. There is so much to be discovered, under the sea. With the heart of a poet and the mind of a scientist, Frauke Bagusche re-awakens our love for the sea and ignites a desire to protect this vital habitat.
