Sea Knowledge: Fascinating Topics - Simple Explanations

Sea Knowledge has the aura of a friendly coffee-table book but it’s certainly much more. ‘Fascinating Topics - Simple Explanations’ – the book’s byline succinctly describes its contents and purpose. Chapters on human interest topics of The Bermuda Triangle, Rogue Waves, Seashore Rip Currents and Plastics in the Ocean tempt non-scientific folk of all ages to open the cover for a 10-minute read. They depart enlightened via simple explanations of ocean processes, written in easily comprehendible terms. In certain cases, marine myths are revealed and provocative topics such as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch are challenged ‘head-on’. Sea Level and Climate Change Controversy also are discussed. Other chapters delve into less-known topics such as Meteo-Tsunamis and Hydrothermal Vents on the Abyssal Seafloor – all great for conversation and readers quickly become informed, armchair experts.
