Cousteau's Great White Shark (Abradale Books)

8 reviews
Jean-Michel Cousteau

Harry N. Abrams, 1995

I hail thee, Great White Shark!
For surviving for 400 million years. For refusing to submit yourself to mankind's aquariums and corporate SeaWorlds. For never allowing your secrets of mating or birth to become known to the prying eyes of man. For not even leaving a skeleton for science to attempt to examine. For being the Master of the Seas, without even using mechanical aids to assist you, like we, the Humans, the ...

A Charm of Dolphins: The Threatened Life of a Flippered Friend (Jean-Michel Cousteau Presents)

Howard Hall

London Town Press, 2007

Fascinating information for young readers
A nice introduction to dolphins for young readers. The author, a well known underwater photographer, blends scientific knowledge with his personal experience as a diver. I loved his description of how adult dolphins teach their young ones to hunt fish. We learn what echolocation is and how it helps dolphins to see and experience their environment. And since echolocation can also be felt by a ...

Planet Ocean: Voyage to the Heart of the Marine Realm

Laurent Ballesta, Pierre Descamp

National Geographic, 2007

Amazing!
There is no lesser a word for this book than amazing. I have seen a number of photographic works on the ocean; and this, by far, exceeds all the others I have enjoyed. The pictures or unbelievable, spectacular, and what I would call the work of photographers of genius. All this for a reasonable price. If you love that essential part of the world which keeps us alive, you will not want to ...

It features 50 stunning black-and-white underwater images by this master photographer, prefaced by a dozen pages of introductory text and historical photos. The image collection is displayed in an ideal format - an uninterrupted sequence, one image to a double page, against an appropriate ...

Cathy Church, 2004

Exquisite book
Cathy Church's stunning collection of underwater photographs in this exquisite book literally took my breath away when I first opened it. The eye-popping color alone is enough to astonish anyone--but the appeal of the book that brings me back to it again and again is the author's marvelous choice of subject matter and her passionate observation of detail...whether it is to be found in the simple ...

Ichthyo: The Architecture of Fish

Chronicle Books, 2008

A recommended specialty pick for any college-level science collection
Originally created to preserve a record of scientific samples dating from the 19th century, the black and white x-rays of fish at the Smithsonian have become works of art in and of themselves, and ICHTHYO presents the best of this collection. Black and white plates offer x-rays from the Smithsonian Institution collection and are a recommended specialty pick for any college-level science ...

Ocean Friendly Cuisine: Sustainable Seafood Recipes From The World's Finest Chefs

James O. Fraioli

Willow Creek Press, 2005

Great book for environmentally conscious cooks.
I have tried a number of the recipes in the book and they are delicious and not difficult to make (no exotic or hard to find items). I have also found myself looking for the "friendly" fish when purchasing and avoiding the ones identified as endangered or stressed. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Readers meet its incredible array of plants and animals, from tiny snails to enormous kelp plants, deadly sharks to voracious sea urchins. The book also introduces strange ...

An amazing collection of some of the most exceptional images taken of our oceans. Every guest seeing it on the coffee table has commented positively on it...great conversation catalyst since everyone has a favorite image/memory of the oceans in their lives.

Beautifu book
This book is amazing. It has the best underwater photos I've seen, and sends a very powerful message to take care of this planet we live on. Buy it, proceeds go to UNESCO's ocean charity.

Cousteau's Papua New Guinea Journey

2 reviews
Jean-Michel Cousteau, Mose Richards

Harry N Abrams, 1989

Something of a disappointment.
It is fair to say that if your father was a successful and famous General then the last thing you should do is join the army. I get the supreme feeling from this book (and from other examples of the work of Jean-Michel Cousteau) that he should have remained an architect. Of course, "Cousteau" is Jean-Michel's surname - so what other name would you expect him to use I hear you say. But ...

The Secrets of the Polar Regions: Life on Icebergs and Glaciers at the Poles and Around the World ...

The Secrets of the Polar Regions ? a new edition in the Jean-Michel Cousteau Presents series (formerly titled Glaciers: Life at the Frozen Edge ) ? presents timely information on the South and North Poles. The book clearly explains the geology of glacier and iceberg ecosystems of these remote but crucially important realms and reveals the fascinating adaptations of the animal and plant life living on or near the ice. Animals profiled include ...

Dolphins (Imax)

5 reviews
Tim Cahill

National Geographic, 2000

A Keeper!
I found, after seeing MacGillivray Freeman's IMAX film Dolphins, that I wanted to know more. The book follows the basis of the film, but goes into much more detail. This book is a superb account of what it is like to study and be around dolphins in the WILD. Cahill's style of writing makes you feel as if you are with him each night as he recounts a day of activity and research. He doesn't ...
