A New York Times bestseller, Ocean is like being on a dive. Using Photicular technology,each image is like a 3-D movie on the page,delivering a rich,fluid visual experience. Open the book,and the reader is swept into the magic of an underwater world,face-to-face with a floating Yellow-Banded Sweetlips; with a glow-in-the-dark Deep-Sea Anglerfish; with a Sea Horse swaying in balletic motion; with a Sand Tiger Shark gliding along the ocean floor,its gaze haunting,its hook-toothed mouth gulping open and closed.The text by Carol Kaufmann enchants with its descriptions of coral reefs; a journey on Alvin,the 17-ton submersible; and a meditation on our oceans. Then,for each creature,she writes a lively and informative essay,along with vital statistics-size,habitat,range,diet,and more.The Photicular process uses an innovative lenticular technology,sliding lenses,and original four-color video imagery. The result is like a movie in your hands-the dance of life in a book.
