潜入海洋独特的优雅视觉探索
海洋学是一本有关海洋生物和海洋环境的详尽而详尽的介绍，将水下世界的财富带到了印刷的页面上。
惊人的摄影作品揭示了从微观浮游生物到大鲸鱼，从海藻到海星的丰富生活。该书与史密森学会（Smithsonian Institution）联合出版，探讨了海洋的每个角落，从珊瑚礁和红树林沼泽到深海to沟。
在此过程中，借助清晰，简单的插图，它解释了生命如何适应海洋环境，例如揭示了石鱼如何释放其致命的毒液，以及海绵如何通过过滤流过的食物来维持自身生存。它还检查了塑造海洋的物理力和过程，从全球循环系统和潮汐到海底火山和海啸。
对于我们大多数人来说，海洋世界是遥不可及的。但是借助摄影技术和最新技术，海洋学使我们与生活在奇妙而几乎无法理解的其他维度的动物，植物和其他生物接近。
Dive into this uniquely elegant visual exploration of the sea
An informative and utterly beautiful introduction to marine life and the ocean environment, Oceanology brings the riches of the underwater world onto the printed page.
Astounding photography reveals an abundance of life, from microscopic plankton to great whales, seaweed to starfish. Published in association with the Smithsonian Institution, the book explores every corner of the oceans, from coral reefs and mangrove swamps to deep ocean trenches.
Along the way, and with the help of clear, simple illustrations, it explains how life has adapted to the marine environment, revealing for example how a stonefish delivers its lethal venom and how a sponge sustains itself by sifting food from passing currents. It also examines the physical forces and processes that shape the oceans, from global circulation systems and tides to undersea volcanoes and tsunamis.
To most of us, the marine world is out of reach. But with the help of photography and the latest technology, Oceanology brings us up close to animals, plants, and other living things that inhabit a fantastic and almost incomprehensibly beautiful other dimension.
