Oceanology: The Secrets of the Sea Revealed (DK Secret World Encyclopedias)

This is a terrific book for picking up and reading a chapter or two at a time. The photographs are amazingly beautiful and the text is well-written and informative.

I bought this for my teen daughter, who wants to be a marine biologist. I got it for her to peruse now and have as a beautiful coffee table book when she’s older, and I am so glad I did. The book is substantial, with gorgeous photography and tons of information. The printing quality is excellent— colors are bright, crisp and the paper is high quality. I highly recommend this book — I bought it on sale and it looks and feels like I paid a lot more. Daughter loves it, which is the true stamp of approval.

So I would like to mention that I am an artist and an avid nature/science lover. DK books are great sources of inspiration, knowledge and wonderful to look at for reference; I have no problem admitting my bias. They are BEAUTIFULLY currated publishings! I bought this particular book as a Kindle on my ipad, for while I love flipping through books, I have been traveling and moving a lot, with digital textbooks being at my finger tips, it's lighter and more manageable! However, I believe this happened imediately after the IOS update, not just this book, but all of my DK books are fragmented and illegible. I cannot read or enjoy the books as they are meant and it breaks my heart. I'm hoping there will be a bug fix soon so I can get to reading again, because this book truly seems as beautiful, thorough and inspiring as many of the others in my collection. PLEASE FIX THIS KINDLE :) In the meantime, until I can read it fully, I'm leaving five stars for knowing from past experiences these are great books, with this not being an exemption. If this proved otherwise, I will update and edit my review.

Title: Phenomenal Book for Ocean Lovers! Review: This is a phenomenal book! It is packed with fascinating information about the ocean and has absolutely beautiful images throughout. There is so much to learn, and the way the information is presented makes it interesting and enjoyable to read. A wonderful book for anyone interested in the ocean and marine life. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great book to look at with grands. The illustrations are great and there's just enough text to hold their interest.

My three-year-old is obsessed with ocean animals and we decided to grab this book as something to read with him. He already has an ocean picture encyclopedia that he looks at daily, but this skews a bit older in the enjoyment. The pictures are absolutely gorgeous and there are lots of neat nuggets of information, but we will keep this as part of our family collection that is treated with a bit more care and TLC than the ones our kids have full access to in order to ensure we can keep it in our possession for the long-haul.

Knowledgeable,

Amo este libro. Es muy gráfico y bonito, tiene mucha información interesante. Mi novio ama la biología marina así que fue un excelente regalo!

O livro é maravilhoso. Recomendo a todos os pais de crianças e adolescentes. O livro chegou em perfeitas condições, mas a caixa chegou aberta. Não sei se ocorreu algum evento no transporte ou na recepção do condomínio.

Wouldn't recommend. Very superficial knowledge. It's still fun to read the small paragraphs but most of the pages are pictures. Too expensive for the content you get.

El ser un libro tan didáctico, es tan comprensible de entender y aprender algo nuevo

Beautiful book for someone passionated about oceanography. Pictures are beautiful with interesting facts.

Lindo decorativo
