Ocean

Viac o knihe

David Attenborough has filmed in all the oceanic environments of the planet, from icy seas at the poles to remote coral reefs. Together with his long-time collaborator Colin Butfield, he shares the story of the last great wilderness that shapes the land we live on, regulates the climate, and creates the air we breathe. Dive into eight unique habitats hidden in saltwater. Navigate through kelp forests, mangroves, and coral reefs, and glimpse into the deepest corners of the least explored ecosystem on Earth, hidden nearly eleven kilometers below the surface. Embark on a fascinating journey of discovery and encounter leatherback turtles and blue whales, clownfish and bioluminescent jellyfish, vampire squid and "headless chicken monsters" – a peculiar species of deep-sea octopus. With the warmth, intelligence, and wonder characteristic of all of David Attenborough's work, Ocean presents a world that is desperately fragile yet remarkably resilient with its extraordinary regenerative abilities. It is not too late to restore this vital habitat. If we respect it, the marine world will be richer and more breathtaking than we can imagine.
