Summary

If you were to observe the Earth from outer space, it would look like a beautiful blue sphere floating amongst a vast, dark sea. It seems this way because water covers over 70 percent of the surface of the planet.
Despite our best efforts, human beings have yet to discover another planet even remotely like Earth in our solar system or beyond. It is the vast quantity of water that makes life so abundantly possible here.

The Blue Planet Summary

The Blue Planet by Martha Holmes

Still, while we have devoted much time and resources to discover what lies beneath the waves' surface, we remain rather clueless about it. This book takes readers on a curious journey to unearth more of the Earth's underwater secrets, examining many different life forms, from plants to animals, that survive in the rich and diverse ecosystem within our oceans.
The Blue Planet explores coastlines, ocean edges, and the mysterious landscape of the bottom of the seabed, where perpetual darkness and monstrous creatures await their prey.
With a foreword by natural historian, David Attenborough, and the inclusion of 400 stunning and truly fascinating colour photos, The Blue Planet is an exhilarating and impressive portrait of our oceans and what they contain.

  • You are ready to hold your breath and dive into the deep a mysterious world of ocean life
  • You want to gain a comprehensive understanding of how oceans have changed and affected the plants and animals that call them home
  • You want a stunning coffee table book to impress your guests!
