The oceans are home to hundreds of thousands of species, representing every kingdom of life: animals, plants, fungi, the single-celled organisms called protistans, and literally countless microorganisms. This diverse assemblage of ocean life includes the largest animal ever known to have existed, the blue whale. Also included are fish that crawl, leap into the air, glow in the dark, and routinely change their sex. With fabulous full-color underwater photography and expertly written, authoritative text, Oceans offers an enticing picture of the rarely glimpsed world beneath the sea. [Edit review] [Delete review]
