Description

Dive into the wonders of the world's oceans in this incredible guide to the tides, beaches and creatures that call them home. Basher Science: Oceans is a compelling guide to a community of characters who make up the world's oceans and cover almost three-quarters of Earth. Learn how tides are influenced by the Moon and the role of ocean currents in keeping the oceans healthy. Discover the creatures that lurk in the dark ocean depths from the sharp-toothed angler fish to the squishy sea cucumber, and learn more about favourite animals like dolphins, narwhals and penguins. Finally, see the impact that humans are having on the oceans, from scientific expeditions to the dangers of pollution. Basher's unique illustrations combine with chatty, first-person text by expert author Dan Green to hook even the most reluctant readers and help them to understand the science behind the headlines. Perfect for home or school, Basher's highly original books make difficult concepts tangible, understandable and even lovable. With sales of over 3 million copies around the world, they are a brilliant way to communicate science, history and geography.
