| Summary/Abstract |
Life in the Ocean examines life within the water, from the earliest life-forms discovered in fossils to the vast range of species swimming the seas today. Marine plants and seabirds, mammals, reptiles, fish, and even the tiniest phytoplankton are examined in depth with vivid images and fascinating facts. Throughout Life in the Ocean, threats to marine life are highlighted, including pollution, overfishing, and littering, with an eye to future conservation and protection of our oceans. Life in the Ocean answers questions such as:

Exploring the ocean
|
| Summary/Abstract |
Uses of the Ocean traces humankind's dependence on oceans through the ages, looking back to the earliest explorers and examining the surprising ways we use the sea in everyday life. Humans have harnessed the power of the sea for transportation, fishing, mining, and tidal power and seen fantastic developments - as well as tragic disasters. This volume investigates myths about the ocean, our desire to explore and improve, and asks what damage human exploration is having on the oceans.Uses of the Ocean has answers to questions such as:
* Who were Jason and the Argonauts?
* What ocean did Vasco Da Gama explore?
* What happens when an oil tanker spills into the ocean?
